Getting to know your camera better

The camera has been used in the same condition from the time of purchase

• No date and time have been set in the camera at the time of purchase. Set

the date and time before using the camera.

g “Set the date and time” (P. 6), “X Setting the date and time” (P. 28)

The battery has been removed from the camera

• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the

camera is left without the battery for approximately 3 days. If the battery is in

the camera for a short period of time, the date and time setting will be reset

earlier than this. Before taking important pictures, check that the date and

time settings are correct.

There are several ways to focus, depending on the subject.

When the subject is not in the center of the frame

• Place the subject in the center of the frame, lock the focus on the subject, and

then recompose your picture.

g “Shutter button Shooting pictures/movies” (P. 10)

The subject is moving quickly

• Focus the camera on a point roughly the same distance away as the subject

you want to shoot (by pressing the shutter button halfway); and then

recompose your picture and wait for the subject to enter the frame.

g “f Shooting pictures by selecting a scene mode according to the

situation” (P. 12)

• Under certain types of conditions, it is difficult to focus using auto focus. The

green lamp on the monitor lights, allowing you to check if the focus is locked.

In these cases, focus (focus lock) on an object with high contrast at the same

distance as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the

picture. If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and

focus the camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button

halfway, and then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping

the button pressed halfway and take the picture.
