Setting the right focus

The camera is equipped with eye detection and face detection features. When a person's face is in the shot, the camera automatically detects and focuses on an eye (eye AF feature). If you tap (Eye AF icon) while focusing on an eye, the camera switches its focus to the face(s). It can also detect and track a moving object. A green frame indicates an eye, and a yellow frame indicates a face or moving object that is in focus.

One way to change the focus area is to move your camera around with the camera key half pressed. Once the focus is set, the circular frame turns blue. This technique can be used, for example, to change the focus to a person who is at the side of a group photo.

You can also tap the screen to focus on a specific area, or set a specific focus distance. These options are only available for the main camera and depend on the capturing mode selected.
