Autofocus function
Pressing the release button halfway activates the
autofocus function. Once the subject is in focus, a green
focus mark appears in the top of the LCD. When you
press the button the rest of the way, the shutter releases
and the picture is taken.
If the subject is out of focus when the button is pressed
halfway, a red focus mark appears on the LCD. Lift your
finger off the release button, and then slowly press the
button halfway again. Even if the red focus mark
appears, you can press the release button the rest of the
way to take the picture.
Pressing the release button fully instead of pausing
halfway will still take a picture, but the autofocus and
exposure compensation functions will not activate.
If SOUND of the SETUP menu is set to SHUTTER or
ON, a sound is heard when the release button is pressed
halfway and when pressed again the rest of the way.
Note
If slowly pressing the release button halfway does not
refocus the image, set the camera to standby mode and
then turn it on again.
In addition, the autofocus function may not work
properly in the following situations:
• The subject lacks enough contrast.
• The subject includes an extremely bright object.
• The background is abnormally dark.
• The subject is positioned within 80 cm of the camera.
Exposure compensation function
Exposure compensation can easily be obtained by
pressing v or V of the control button. Each time you
press the button, the exposure compensation value
displayed on the LCD changes.
For details on the exposure compensation, see
"Compensating the Exposure" on page 35.
