While images are being saved, the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not open the 
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while images are being saved. Cutting power or 
removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the 
camera or card.

Autofocus may not perform 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 is behind the subject 

and the subject is in deep shadow)

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

and is standing in front of a white wall)

• Subject contains objects of varying distances from the camera (such as a cage with an animal inside)

• 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 to refocus several 
times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual 
desired subject, and use focus lock (

A 55).

See “AF Area Mode” (

A 53) or “Face Detection” (A 56) for more information.

If the camera cannot focus, try shooting with macro mode (

A 39) or the Close-up scene mode 

(

C

If the subject is dimly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (

A 181) may light when the shutter-release 

button is pressed halfway, or the flash (

A 32) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed 

all the way down.
