Tips before you start taking pictures

If correct focus cannot be obtained

The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level

of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera

may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or

with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the

simplest solution is to use the focus lock.

1 Position the AF target mark on

the subject you want to focus on.

• When shooting a hard-to-focus or fast-

moving subject, focus the camera on an

object about the same distance away as

the subject.

2 Press the shutter button halfway

until the green lamp lights.

• When the focus and exposure are

locked, the green lamp lights.

• The AF target mark moves to the focus

position.

• When the green lamp blinks, the focus

and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the shutter button,

re-position the AF target mark on the subject and press the shutter button

halfway again.

3 Keeping the shutter button

pressed halfway, recompose

your shot.
