Fujifilm 16301535 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 (

P 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 (

P 36), try increasing 

the distance to the subject.
