i Subjects without vertical lines Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus while framing the subject vertically, then re-orient the camera to compose a horizontally framed image.
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus function may work, but not as desired. i When both near and far objects are present Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.
i Fast-moving subjects Use the focus-lock function to lock the focus on an object at the same distance as the desired subject, then reposition the camera to compose the picture.
HINT i Images captured in the still image shooting mode can be rotated when they are played back (page 131). i When the [ ] button is pressed halfway, the image in the monitor may waver vertically. This is the result of internal image processing and is not a malfunction. This wavering is not recorded and will not affect your images in any way. i When the optical zoom is used or when the autofocus is operating, the image may appear to waver, but this is not a malfunction.
