Subjects that may require special focusing:
Using the autofocus, it is hard to focus on the following subjects. In such 
cases, use the focus lock shooting feature (page 73) or manual focus 
(page 75).
• A subject that is low in contrast, such as blue sky or a white wall.
• Two subjects at different distances overlapping in the AF area.
• A subject that is composed of repeating patterns, such as the facade of a 

building.

• A subject that is very bright or glittering, such as the sun, the body of an 

automobile, or the surface of water.

Note
• If the subject is closer than the minimum shooting distance of the attached lens, the 

focus cannot be confirmed. Make sure you put enough distance between the subject 
and the camera.

The 

 mark located on the top of the 

camera shows the location of the image 
sensor*. When you measure the exact 
distance between the camera and the 
subject, refer to the position of the 
horizontal line.
* The image sensor is the part of the 

camera that acts as the film.
