Detection (page 50) is enabled. To select another focus mode, first turn off Make-up
and Face Detection.

The focus range is the distance from the lens surface.

The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the screen only once,
immediately after the [
0
] (Movie) button is pressed. After that, focus remains fixed
during recording of the movie.
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.
1.
Align the monitor screen’s focus frame with
the subject you want to focus on and then
half-press the shutter button.
