How can I get my camera to use auto frame - flex mode in the "P" mode. I can't get it.

[ssobel]

When I use the "P" mode for stills Auto Frame is not highlighted and so I cannot get Flex Mode.   Is there something

wrong with my camera or is Flex Mode only available for C1 or C2.  Page 266 of the manual says its available yet there is not way I can get it.

If anyone else has this problem please let me know.

thank you

Hi, ssobel!

So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know exactly which camera model you're using.

Thanks and have a great day!

Sorry,  I just purchased an SX50 and will be taking it to Africa in January.  Previously I had a Nikon p510 which I took to Africa two years ago and most of my shots were out of focus.  So I'm going back and trying again with this new camera.  My biggest concern is focus.   Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi Ssobel,

The FlexiZone mode is turned off when the camera is set to certain modes, such as "Continuous Shooting AF" (described on page 127 of your PowerShot SX50 HS Manual).

You may clear this and other settings by choosing the "Reset All" menu option.  To access this, press the MENU button and navigate to the "Settings Tab" (you'll see the wrench and hammer icon).  Scroll down to "Reset All" and press the FUNC SET button.  Use the left or right arrow to choose "OK", then press FUNC SET again.
