If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult 

to focus on

• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) (W), 50 cm (19 3/4 inches) (T) 

(from the lens). Shoot in the Close focus mode when you shoot a subject closer than the shooting 
distance.

• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to 

flash slowly and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting 
(page 32).

Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:
– It is dark and the subject is distant.
– The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.
– The subject is seen through glass.
– The subject is moving quickly.
– There is reflective light or shiny surfaces.
– The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.
