 Focus.

Press the shutter button 
halfway to set focus and 
exposure.  Focus and ex-

  Recompose the picture.

Keeping the shutter but-
ton pressed halfway, re-
compose the picture.

 Shoot.

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofo-
cus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects 
listed below.  If the camera is unable to focus using 
autofocus, use focus lock to focus on another subject 
at the same distance and then recompose the pho-
tograph.
•  Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.
• Fast-moving subjects.
•  Subjects photographed through a window or other 

reflective object.

•  Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than 

reflect light, such as hair or fur.

•  Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.
•  Subjects  that  show  little  contrast  with  the  back-

ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the 
same color as the background).

• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-

contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for 
example, a subject photographed against a back-
drop of highly contrasting elements).
