Focusing the Camera
The focus brackets in the
Live View
screen show the focus
region for the still picture you are taking or the video clip you
are recording. (See
Using Live View
on page 31.) When you
press the
Shutter
button halfway down to take a still picture,
the camera automatically measures and locks the focus and
exposure in the focus region. The focus brackets in the
Live
View
screen turn green when the camera has found and
locked the focus and exposure. This is called auto focus.
Obtaining Optimum Focus and
Exposure
When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes
other than
Macro
(see
Using the Shooting Modes
on
page 42), the camera will attempt to auto focus. However,
when the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, the
focus brackets in
Live View
turn red. This indicates that the
picture may be out of focus either because the camera had
difficulty focusing on the subject or because the focus range
is too close. The camera will still take the picture, but you
should release the
Shutter
button, then try re-framing the
subject of your picture and pressing the
Shutter
button
halfway down. If the focus brackets are still red, release the
Shutter
button.
•
If the camera had difficulty focusing on the subject
because of low contrast, try using focus lock (see
Using
Focus Lock
on page 38).
•
If the subject is too close (less than 50 cm or 20 in), either
move farther away from the subject you are trying to
photograph, or set the camera to the
Macro
shooting
mode (see
Using the Shooting Modes
on page 42).
