Setting the focus by touching the viewfinder

You can select a subject on which to focus by touching it in the viewfinder. After specifying the position where you want to focus, press the device shutter button halfway down to focus, and then shoot a still image.

There are several options that the camera adjusts automatically when you touch the viewfinder.

  2. Find and tap [Touch to adjust], and then select [Autofocus] or [Focus and brightness].
    • Autofocus: Focuses automatically on the specified position.
    • Focus and brightness: Automatically focuses on the specified position and adjusts the brightness.
  3. Close the menu.
    The setting is saved.
  4. Touch the subject to focus in the viewfinder.
    To cancel focusing, tap (Cancel focusing button).
  5. Press the device shutter button halfway down to focus.
  6. Press the device shutter button fully down (or tap the screen shutter button in the BASIC (Basic) mode).
