Step 3 Focus and Shoot

Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode

B During Recording

While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not open the

battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while pictures are being recorded. Cutting power or

removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the

camera or card.

B Autofocus

Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject

may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject

makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject, wearing a white shirt, is

standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)

• Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several

times, or focus on another subject and use focus lock (A 46). When using focus lock, be sure that

the distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that

for the actual subject.

C AF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is dimly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 131) may light when the shutter-release

button is pressed halfway, or the flash (A 30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed

all the way down.
