This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus icon in the lower right cor-

ner of the LCD monitor and the green focus lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus status.

Subject locked. The camera will continue to track the

subject within the focus frames.

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, focus-lock with Focus Area Selection can be

used to focus on an object at the same distance as the main subject and then the image can be

recomposed on the monitor (p. 50, 51).

The subject in the

focus frame is low

in contrast.

The subject is too

dark.

Two subjects at dif-

ferent 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.

• If the subject lock is lost, the monitor icon will change from white to red, but the focus lamp will

continue to glow steadily. For more about Subject Tracking AF, see page 64.

• 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 2 m (6.5 ft). In this case, focus lock with

Focus Area Selection can be used (p. 50, 51).
