The camera has a two-stage shutter-release button.  To focus, 
lightly press the shutter-release button until you feel resistance.  
This is called “pressing the shutter-release button halfway.”  Press 
the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to shoot.

The camera may be unable to focus on the following:
•  Objects that lack contrast, such as the sky, a wall that is only one 

color, or the hood of a car

•  Flat objects containing only horizontal lines
• Fast-moving objects
•  Objects that are poorly lit
•  Objects with bright reflections or backlighting
•  Flickering objects, such as fluorescent lights
•  Point light sources, such as light bulbs, spotlights, or LEDs
Note that one or more focus frames may be displayed in green if 
the camera is unable to focus with the above subjects; check focus 
in the picture display before shooting.  If the camera is unable to 
focus, lock focus on another object at the same distance from the 
camera as your subject, then recompose the photograph and take 
the picture (page 21).
