FOCUS SIGNALS

SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS

This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus icon in the lower right
corner of the LCD monitor and the green focus lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus status.

Focus confirmed.

Focus icon: white
Focus lamp: steady

Focus icon: red
Focus lamp: blinking

The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot focus on a
subject, the focus icon will turn red. In this situation the focus-lock function can be used to focus on
another object at the same distance as your main subject, and then the image can be recomposed to
take the picture.

The subject in the focus
frame is low in contrast.

The subject is too dark.

Two subjects at different
distances overlap in the
focus frame.

The subject is near a very
bright object or area.

Cannot focus. The subject is too close or a special
situation is preventing the AF system from focusing.

• The shutter can be released even if the camera cannot focus on the subject.
• When the AF system cannot focus, the focus is set to infinity. When the flash is in use, the focus is set

between 3.0 and 3.8m. In this case, focus lock can be used with an object at the same distance as the
main subject or the camera can be focused manually in the multi-function recording mode (p. 56).
