       Fr-a      L-J

Aim the focus area in the center of the viewfinder to the
main subject. The lens automatically focuses as soon as
you press release button all the way. As soon as the lens
is in the set position, the exposure process begins.

 Avoid taking photographs of subjects under the following
 conditions:
 1. lf there is a very strong light source, e.g. direct sunlight
   on or near the area of focus.
 2. Objects without specific shape, e.g. smoke or fireworks.
 3. Strongly or reflecting or shiny surfaces, e.g. water
   surfaces.
 4. Black badly reflecting objects.
 5. lf the object is behind a glass pane.
 6. Very small objects.
Photographing subjects such as these could result
 in slight blurring as it is very difficult to capture these
images.
