Using the auto-focus framing marks (to take pictures)

Framing marks in the LCD indicate the camera focus area. The camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects, even if the subjects are not centered in the scene.

NOTE: Multiple framing marks appear when Face Detection search (see Scene modes) is running.

  1. Press the Shutter button halfway. When the framing marks turn green, focus is accomplished.



  2. If the camera is not focusing on the desired subject (or if the framing marks disappear), release the Shutter button and recompose the scene.

  3. Press the Shutter button completely down to take the picture.

NOTE: Framing marks do not appear in Landscape or Video mode. When you use Focus Zone (see Changing picture-taking settings) and set Center Zone, the framing marks are fixed at Center Wide.
