Using Autofocus (AF) (continued)

Difficult to focus subjects

The autofocus feature of this camera is effective for most subjects. However, subjects like the ones

described below could be difficult to focus with the autofocus feature. If focusing with the CCD is not

successful, after you half-press the shutter button, the AF correct mark in the lower left corner of the

viewfinder blinks. You can still take a picture under this condition by full-pressing the shutter button.

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.

For these situations, position the AF target

mark in the viewfinder on an object that is at

the same distance from the camera as the

subject, and then half-press the shutter button

to lock the focus. While keeping your finger

half-pressed on the shutter button, frame the

picture that you want to shoot, and then full-

press the shutter button. (➞ 65)

You can also set the focus mode switch to the

MF mark to select manual focusing, and then

adjust the focus manually with the manual

focus ring. (➞ 68)
