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) (1 cm (13/32 inches) in 

Intelligent Auto Adjustment or Easy Mode) (W), 50 cm (1 ft 7 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 62).

• 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.
