Fujifilm 600012270 Manuel D’Utilisation

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofo-
cus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects 
listed below.  If the camera is unable to focus using 
autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 34) to focus on another 
subject at the same distance and then recompose 
the photograph.
•  Very shiny subjects such 

as mirrors or car bodies.

• Fast-moving subjects.

•  Subjects photographed through a window or other 

reflective object.

•  Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than 

reflect light, such as hair or fur.

•  Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.
•  Subjects  that  show  little  contrast  with  the  back-

ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the 
same color as the background).

• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-

contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for 
example, a subject photographed against a back-
drop of highly contrasting elements).

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will 
light to assist the focus operation when the shutter 
button is pressed halfway.

1 Notes
• Avoid shining the AF-assist illuminator directly into 

your subject’s eyes.

• The camera may be unable to focus using the AF-

assist illuminator in some cases.  If the camera is un-
able to focus in macro mode (pg. 36), try increasing 
the distance to the subject.
