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. 7), “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. 11)
• Set [AF MODE] to [iESP].
g “AF MODE Changing the focusing area” (P. 21)
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.
• 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.
