The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject 
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject 

makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject, wearing a white shirt, is 

standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)

• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped 

windows, etc.)

• Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway repeatedly, or change 
the scene from Point and shoot to another scene.

If the subject is dimly lit, the flash (

A 44) may fire when you press the shutter-release button all the 

way down.

If you are concerned that you might miss a shot, press the shutter-release button all the way without 
first pressing it halfway.
