Taking a picture

NOTE: After you take a picture, the EVF/LCD displays a quickview for approximately 5 seconds. The picture is saved unless you press the Delete button.

Using the auto-focus framing marks (for pictures)

When using the LCD or EVF as a viewfinder, framing marks indicate the camera focus area. The camera attempts to focus on foreground subjects, even if the subjects are not centered in the scene.


  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 all modes. When you use Focus Zone and set Center Zone, the framing marks are fixed at Center Wide.

Taking a video

NOTE: After you take a video, the EVF/LCD displays a quickview for approximately 5 seconds. To play/pause the video during the quickview, press OK. The video is saved unless you press the Delete button.
