• While the indicator showing the number of exposures remaining is blinking, images are being 

recorded. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover. Cutting the power or 
removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the 
camera or card.

• Depending on the settings or shooting conditions, the image recording time may take longer 

than usual (

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 active focus area lights in 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., an animal inside a cage)
• Subjects that repeat the same pattern (e.g., as window blinds or buildings lined with windows of 

the same shape)

• Subject is moving rapidly
In these situations, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway again to refocus, several times if 
necessary. If the subject is still not in focus, select auto mode and use focus lock (

A67) to take the 

picture by first focusing on an object that is at the same distance from the camera as the desired 
subject.

In dark places, the AF-assist illuminator (

A95) may light when the shutter-release button is pressed 

halfway, and the flash (

A54) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way.

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