· Please be careful not to cover the Distance Measuring Window at the front of the camera accidentally, as the

focusing will not be correct.

· Please keep the Distance Measuring Window clean so that the focusing is accurate. If it gets dirty, please wipe it

clean with a soft cloth.

· There may be rare cases where the subject cannot be properly focused.

(For instance subjects that do not reflect light well, glossy subjects, or subjects taken through glass.)

Shooting Distance

For subjects that are less than 1 m away from the camera, it is not possible to obtain a sharp focus.

PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING

When the subject you wish to focus on is outside the Auto-Focus Frame, or if the subject is difficult to focus on,

you should use the "pre-focus" feature.

When the subject is outside the Auto-Focus Frame

1. If you want to photograph two people, there may be cases where neither of them can be set within the Auto-

Focus Frame in the center of the Viewfinder. If you release the shutter, the background will be in focus, and the

people which are the main subject will be out-of-focus. (Fig. 18)

2. Move the camera so that one of the people is within the Auto-Focus Frame. (Fig. 19)

3. Press the Shutter Release Button halfway. Keep your finger pressed down on the Shutter Release Button. This

will automatically lock the focus on this subject.

4. Return the camera to its former position so that both people are in the Field of View Frame, then press the

Shutter Release Button fully to take the picture. (Fig. 18)

Then the subject is difficult to focus on

1. When you take subjects that are difficult to focus on, find another subject at about the same distance from the

camera. Use that subject in the same way as described above.

· When you remove your finger from the Shutter Release Button, pre-focusing will be cancelled, so you can then

go on to focus again as many times as you wish.
