what portion of the picture it is in.
[]([AF Tracking])¢Focus can be adjusted to a specified subject. Focus will keep on following 
the subject even if it moves. (Dynamic tracking)
[]([21-Area])¢Up to 21 points for each AF area can be focused.
This is effective when the subject is not in the center of the screen.
(AF area frame will be same as image aspect ratio setting.)

∫About [ š] ([Face Detection])
The following AF area frames are displayed when the camera detects the 
faces.
Yellow:
When the shutter button is pressed hal fway, the frame turns green when the 
camera is focused.
White:
Displayed when more than one face is detected. Ot her faces that are the same distance away 
as the faces within the yellow AF areas are also brought into focus.
•
When [Metering Mode] is set to [ C], the camera will adjust the exposure to suit the person’s face.•Under certain picture-taking conditions including the following cases, the face detection function may 
fail to work, making it impossible to detect faces.
[AF Mode] is switched to [ ] ([ Ø] while motion pictures are taken).
–When the face is not facing the camera–When the face is at an angle–When the face is extremely bright or dark
–When the facial features are hidden behind sunglasses, etc.–When the face appears small on the screen–When there is little contrast on the faces
–When there is rapid movement–When the subject is not a human being–When the camera is shaking

exposure by judging the allocation of brightness on the whole screen 
automatically.
Usually, we recommend using this method.
[]([Center Weighted])
This is the method used to focus on the subject on the center of the 
screen and measure the whole screen evenly.
[
Ù ]([Spot]) This is the method to measure the subject in the

Recording
•Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat 
the recording of pictures.
•It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures 
continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For 
continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.
•The burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower depending on the recording 
environment such as in dark places, if the ISO sensitivity is high, etc.
•When [ ] is set, focus prediction will be performed in a possible range to prioritize the burst speed. 
Therefore, if you try to take a picture of a subject that is moving fast, it may have trouble with 
focusing or it may take time to focus.
•When [ ] is set, the recording may be brighter or darker from the second picture depending on 
changes in the brightness of the subject.
•This function is not available in the following cases:–When using Auto Bracket
–In Self Shot Mode–[Handheld Night Shot]/[HDR]/[Starry Sky] (Scene Mode)–[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect]/[Soft Focus]/[Star Filter] (Creative Control Mode)
•When the Self-Timer is used, the number of recordable pictures in Burst Mode is fixed to 3. 
(5 pictures in [ ])
•The flash setting is fixed to [Œ] (except for [ ]).
Applicable modes: 
AF assist lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter button is pressed halfway, making it 
easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions.
(Larger AF area is displayed depending on the recording conditions.)
Settings: [ON]/[OFF]
•
The effective distance of the assist lamp is approximately 1.5 m 
(4.9 feet).
•Depending on the state of the zoom or subject, the effective distance 
may become shorter.
•When you do not want to use the AF Assist Lamp  A (e.g. when taking 
pictures of animals in dark places), set the [AF Assist Lamp] to [OFF]. In 
this case, it will become more di fficult to focus on the subject.
•The setting is fixed to [OFF] in the following cases.

whenever the flash is used. The camera automatically detects red-eye and corrects the picture.
Settings: [ON]/[OFF]
•
This function works only when the camera detects a face.•Under certain circumstances, red-eye cannot be corrected.
Applicable modes: 
The camera detects jitter during recording and automatically corrects it, so you can record 
images with reduced jitter.
When recording motion pictures, “Active Mode” (sta bilizer for motion pictures) will automatically 
function. This decreases the jitter of the image  when recording motion pictures while walking, 
etc.
