Focusing

The camera can focus a subject automatically.

Set the focus mode switch to AF (Automatic

Focus). Compose the picture with the AF target

mark in the center of the viewfinder on the

subject. If you compose the picture with the

monitor, make sure the subject is in the center

of the monitor. Half-press the shutter button

until the camera beeps and the AF correct

mark in the viewfinder lights, and then full-

press the shutter button to take the picture.

To focus a difficult subject

If the AF correct mark in the lower left corner of

the viewfinder continues to blink the camera

cannot achieve focus automatically. Some

subjects are difficult to focus.

Subject of low contrast

A subject without

distinct patterns could

be difficult to focus.

Subject with center glare

A subject with center

glare could be difficult

to focus.

Two objects at different distances from the

camera

The camera cannot

autofocus on a single

subject with two

objects at different

distances from the

camera in the

viewfinder.

Subject in light from street lights and

windows

A subject at night in

light from street lights

or from building

windows could be

difficult to focus.

Subject without vertical lines

The camera cannot

focus on a subject with

only horizontal lines.

Hold the camera

vertically, half-press the

shutter button, and

then hold it down to lock the focus. Re-position

the camera horizontally, compose the picture,

and then full-press the shutter button to shoot

the picture.

Moving subject

It is impossible to hold

a fast moving object in

the center of the

viewfinder long enough

for automatic focusing,

so lock the focus on an

object that is at the same distance from the

camera as the subject you want to shoot, wait

for the subject to appear, and then shoot the

picture.

Shooting through glass or glaring surface

A picture taken through a window, or shooting a

glaring surface like shiny metal, could be

difficult to focus. If this problem occurs, set the

focus mode switch to MF (manual focus) and

focus the subject manually.

Backlit subjects

Strongly backlit subjects could be difficult to

focus. Set the focus mode switch to MF

(manual focus) and focus the subject manually.

In such situations, you can use substitute

focusing. Compose a picture with the AF target

mark in the viewfinder on an object that is the

same distance from the camera as the subject

that you want to shoot. Half-press the shutter

button to focus on the substitute object, keep

the shutter button half pressed, compose the

picture again with the original subject and then

full-press the shutter button to take the picture.

(If you are waiting for a fast moving subject to

appear, keep the shutter button half pressed

until the subject appears in the viewfinder.)
