Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 41)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is dif
cult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object
(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the screen

It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the
camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the
horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different
distances
Fast-moving object
The subject is not in the center of
the frame
Camera shake
“Taking pictures without camera shake”
Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 42)
When a picture is taken of a shadowed subject,
the CCD

shifts to correct for camera shake even
if the ISO speed is not increased. This function is
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom

cation.
