Subjects/environments which may 
make focusing difficult:
 •Fast-moving or extremely bright 
objects, or objects with no colour 
contrast.
 •Taking pictures through glass or 
near objects emitting light.
 •In dark, or with significant jitter.
 •When too close to object or when 
taking pictures of both distant and 
close objects together in the same 
picture.
 
The focus display flashes and beep sounds when focus is not 
aligned.
Use the focus range displayed in red as a reference. 
Even if the focus display is lit, the camera may be unable to 
bring the subject into focus if it is out of range.
 
The AF area display may be larger depending on recording 
conditions such as dark locations or zoom ratio.
