Sony MVC-CD500 User Manual

When you try to shoot a subject that is 
difficult to focus on, the AE/AF lock 
indicator changes to flashing slowly.
The Auto Focus function may have 
difficulty working under the following 
conditions. In such cases, release the shutter 
button, then recompose the shot and focus 
again.
• The subject is distant from the camera 

and dark.

• The contrast between the subject and its 

background is poor.

• The subject is seen through glass, such as 

a window.

• A fast-moving subject.
• The subject reflects or has a lustrous 

finish, such as a mirror or a luminous 
body.

• A flashing subject.
• A backlit subject.

There are two Auto Focus functions: “AF 
range finder frame” which sets the focus 
position according to the subject position 
and size, and “AF mode” which sets the 
focus operation according to the AF 
response and the battery consumption.
See page 47 for details.
