FOCUS SIGNALS

SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS

This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The monitor focus signal

and viewfinder indicator lamp indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released

regardless if the camera can focus on the subject or not.

The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. In these situations, focus lock

(p. 25) or fixed focus (p. 50) 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 AF

area is low in con-

trast.

The subject is too dark. The subject is com-

posed of broad

horizontal lines.

The subject is near a

very bright object or

area.

Focus confirmed - the monitor focus signal and

viewfinder indicator lamp glow. Focus is locked.

Cannot focus - the focus signal and indicator lamp

blink.

In the manual recording mode (p. 34), the focus can be fixed at specified distances with the focus

mode option on the menu. See page 50 for more on focus modes and page 36 for menu

operation.
