As the shutter release is 
pressed halfway, the camera 
automatically focuses on 
your subject. The green lamp 
near the viewfinder eyepiece 
signals the focus status.

If the lamp lights green 
(after a few fractions of a 
second), focus is set and you 
may press the shutter 
release to take your picture.

Should the green lamp blink, 
check the following points:

Did you try to focus on a 
detail that is difficult to focus 
on? (See page opposite.)

Is your subject less than the 
minimum focusing distance 
away (or over 40 cm in 
Macro mode)?

The autofocus system is 
center-weighted and uses 
image contrast (the 
difference between dark and 
bright details) to detect 
focus. This is why there are 
some subjects that make 
autofocusing impossible.

In this case either use focus 
lock, focusing on a subject at 
the same distance, or switch 
to manual focusing.

Your subject is too dark.

Your subject has insufficient 
contrast, such as blue sky or 
a white wall.

Subjects located at different 
distances overlap in the 
focus area.

Your subject is too bright, 
such as highly glossy car 
paint or a shiny water 
surface.

The autofocus system is 
center-weighted. If your 
subject is off center, the 
camera will focus on the 
background. In this case, use 
focus lock:
Place your main subject in 
the center of the TFT screen 
and press the shutter release 
halfway. Then recompose 
without letting go of the 
shutter release and finally 
press the release fully to 
take your picture.
