When objects are at different distances Focusing "Focusing on the subject" Taking a picture of a subject not in the center of the screen After focusing on an object at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot, and take the picture. 18) Fast-moving object The subject is not in the center of the frame Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus is difficult In the following cases, after focusing on an object (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with high contrast at the same distance as the subject, compose the shot and take the picture. Camera shake "Taking pictures without camera shake" Subjects with low contrast Taking pictures using h mode (p. 17) Since you can take pictures with a high shutter speed by setting [j SPORT], it's also effective for blurry subjects.
