To focus a difficult subject
If the AF correct mark in the lower left corner of
the viewfinder continues to blink the camera
cannot achieve focus automatically. Some
subjects are difficult to focus.
Subject of low contrast
A subject without
distinct patterns could
be difficult to focus.
Subject with center glare
A subject with center
glare could be difficult
to focus.
Two objects at different distances from the
camera
The camera cannot
autofocus on a single
subject with two objects
at different distances
from the camera in the
viewfinder.
Subject in light from street lights and
windows
A subject at night in
light from street lights
or from building
windows could be
difficult to focus.
Subject without vertical lines
The camera cannot
focus on a subject with
only horizontal lines.
Hold the camera
vertically, half-press the
shutter button, and
then hold it down to lock the focus. Re-position
the camera horizontally, compose the picture,
and then full-press the shutter button to shoot
the picture.
Using the IS mode
(Interlace Scan Mode)
This is the normal shooting mode. The
mechanical shutter speed can be adjusted up
to 1/640 sec.
Press the menu button to display the menu
on the monitor. On the arrow pad, press to
move the green highlight to and press to
move the green highlight to IS mode. Press the
button. Check the record mode in the control
panel since it may have been changed.
Using the PS mode
(Progressive Scan Mode)
The electronic shutter speed can be adjusted
as follows:
P and A modes: up to 1/4000 sec.
S and M modes: up to 1/4000 sec. and
1/18000 sec.
When shooting without an ND filter and the
aperture wide open, this mode can be used
when a super fast shutter speed may be
required. However, jaggies and noise may
appear when printing large sizes because
vertical resolution thins out.
Press the menu button to display the menu
on the monitor. On the arrow pad, press to
move the green highlight to and press to
move the green highlight to PS mode. Press
the button. Check the record mode in the
control panel since it may have been changed.
Focusing
The camera can focus a subject automatically.
Set the focus mode switch to AF (Automatic
Focus). Compose the picture with the AF target
mark in the center of the viewfinder on the
subject. If you compose the picture with the
monitor, make sure the subject is in the center
of the monitor. Half-press the shutter button
until the camera beeps and the AF correct
mark in the viewfinder lights, and then fully-
press the shutter button to take the picture.
