About 3-area-focusing (High speed)
and 1-area-focusing (High speed)
• You can focus on the subject more quickly
than other AF modes.
• The picture may stop moving for a
moment before being brought into focus
when you press the shutter button
halfway. This is not a malfunction.
• The AF area displayed on the center of
the screen is bigger than usual when
using the digital zoom or when taking
pictures in dark places.
• The camera is focusing on all the AF
areas when multiple AF areas (max.
9 areas) light at the same time.
• The focus position is not predetermined. It
is set to a position automatically
determined by the camera at the time of
focusing. If you want to determine the
focus position to take pictures, switch the
AF mode to 1-area-focusing mode (High
speed), 1-area-focusing mode or
Spot-focusing mode.
• Switch the AF mode to 1-area-focusing
mode (High speed) or 1-area-focusing

This mode allows you to compose a picture
more easily by always focusing on the

to [ON].
• The battery will be consumed faster than
usual.
• It may take time to focus on the subject if
you rotate the zoom lever from Wide to
Tele or suddenly change the subject from
a distant one to a nearby one.
• We recommend setting [CONT.AF] to
[ON] if you use the zoom in motion picture
mode [
].
• You can have different [CONT.AF] settings
when recording motion pictures and still
pictures.
• Press the shutter button halfway again
when it is difficult to focus on the subject.
• The [CONT.AF] setting is fixed to [OFF] in
simple mode [
] and in
[NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P52),
[NIGHT
SCENERY] (P53), [FIREWORKS]
(P55) and [STARRY SKY] (P55) in scene
mode.
