5. Focus and Brightness (Exposure) Settings When recording using [AFF], [AFC] • It may take time to focus on the subject when you operate the zoom from Wide to Tele or suddenly change the subject from a distant one to a nearby one. • Press the shutter button halfway again when it is difficult to focus on the subject. • While the shutter button is pressed halfway, shake may be seen on the screen. • When the brightness is insufficient for [AFF] or [AFC], the camera will operate as if [AFS] has been set. In this case, the display will change to the yellow [AFS]. • Those menu items are shared by the [Rec] menu and the [Motion Picture] menu. When the setting for either of the two is changed, the setting for the other is also changed. Not available in these cases: • In Panorama Shot Mode, [AFF] and [AFC] cannot be set. • Depending on the lens used, [AFF] and [AFC] may not operate. Refer to the website for compatible lenses. 136
