Chapter 1 Section 2 Basic Shooting

Point the lens toward the subject you

want to shoot.

Compose the picture on the LCD Monitor.

The focus is set at the center of the

screen, so use the screen to center your

subject.

Half-press the shutter button.

The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are dis-

played in the bottom part of the screen, and the cam-

era focuses.

Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white bal-

ance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of the

LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus

lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of

these to make sure the subject is in focus.

If the camera cannot automatically focus, the

crosshairs in the center of the LCD monitor turn red

and the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the view-

finder blinks in green.

Crosshair

• When the grid appears, the crosshairs do not appear in

the middle of the LCD monitor. With the auto focus lamp,

check that the shot is in focus.

• There is another shooting method, which is to fully press

the shutter once, without using the half-press method.

Full-press shooting is good for capturing the moment.

However, you cannot check that your shot is in focus

while shooting. (see P.36)

• You can use the battery for a longer period of time by

using the viewfinder and shooting in power-save mode

(see P.128). In this mode, however, you cannot check

the focus on the LCD monitor. Instead, observe the auto

focus lamp (in the lower left of the viewfinder), which

lights up in green when the shot is in focus. The range

visible through the viewfinder and that being shot may

deviate a little bit, depending on the shooting distance.

To check the focusing or the shooting range accurately

before shooting, please use the LCD monitor.

If the subject is not centered on your composition, see

P.38.

How to Focus

The area displayed on the LCD Monitor is shot as a still image or a movie. When adjusting focus, press

the shutter button halfway (half-press).

To adjust focus, follow the steps below.
