Super Macro
Super Macro fixes optical zoom at a position that allows you to shoot from the closest 
distance to the subject. The result is closer and larger subject images.
NOTE
• Zoom is fixed while Super Macro is selected, so no zoom operation is performed 
when you slide the zoom controller.
To focus with manual focus
1.On the monitor screen, compose the image so 
the subject you want to focus on is within the 
yellow boundary.
2.Watching the image on the monitor screen use 
[4] and [6] to adjust focus.
• At this time the image that is within the boundary 
will enlarge and fill the monitor screen, which aids 
in focusing. If you do not perform any operation for 
two seconds while the enlarged image is displayed, 
the screen in step 1 will re-appear.
NOTE
• An Auto Macro feature detects how far the subject is from the lens and 
automatically selects either Macro Focus or Auto Focus accordingly.
• Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to 
become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.
• In the case of movie recording, Auto Macro operates before you start recording. 
After recording is started, however, focus is fixed.
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus, 
Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell 
you the focus range, as shown below. Note that the focus range is displayed 
including the Auto Macro range only when shooting with Auto Focus.
Example: oo cm to 9
*oo is the actual focusing range value.
• The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page 
93) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.
• Turning on “Face Detection” causes the focus mode to change automatically to Q 
(Auto Focus). Changing the focus mode setting to anything other than Q (Auto 
Focus) causes “Face Detection” to turn off automatically.

Using Focus Lock
“Focus lock” is a technique you can use when you want to 
compose an image in which the subject you want to focus 
on is not within the focus frame in the center of the 
screen.

for the Auto Focus area (page 89).
1.Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with 
the subject you want to focus on and then half-
press the shutter button.
2.Keeping the shutter button half-pressed 
(which maintains the focus setting), move the 
camera to compose the image.
• When “Ë Tracking” is selected as the Auto Focus 
area, the focus frame will move automatically and 
follow the subject.
3.When you are ready to shoot the image, press the shutter button the 
rest of the way down.
NOTE
• Focus lock also locks exposure (AE).

Procedure
[r] (REC) * [MENU] * REC Tab * Anti Shake
You can turn on the camera’s Anti Shake feature to reduce image blur due to subject 
movement or camera movement when shooting a moving subject using telephoto, 
when shooting a fast-moving subject, or when shooting under dim lighting conditions.

when you half-press the shutter button while “On” is selected. These values will 
appear briefly, however, in the preview image that is displayed immediately after 
you shoot a snapshot.
• Shooting while “On” is selected can cause an image to appear somewhat coarser 
than normal and can cause slight deterioration of image resolution.
• Anti Shake may not be able to eliminate the effects of camera or subject movement 
when movement is severe.
• Anti Shake may not work properly when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Turn 
off Anti Shake.
