FOCUS LAMP/NO FOCUS INDICATOR
This digital camera has a quick, accurate auto-
focusing system.
When the shutter-release but-
ton is pressed partway down, the autofocus
system focuses on the subject in the viewfind-
er’s focus frame and will maintain that setting
until the shutter button is released. The focus
lamp (green) will indicate the focus status
when the shutter-release button is pressed
partway down.
FOCUS RANGE
TAKING PICTURES
FOCUS LOCK
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the
focus frame. Focus lock may also be used when a special focusing situation pre-
vents the camera from focusing on the subject.
Place the subject within the focus
frame or center the subject on the
LCD monitor. Press and hold the
shutter-release button partway
down. The green focus lamp will
glow to indicate that the focus is
locked.
Without lifting your finger,
recompose the subject within the
image frame. Press the shutter-
release button all the way down
to take the picture.
SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations (see below). If the
autofocus system cannot focus on a subject, the focus lamp (green) will blink. Use
the focus-lock function to focus on another object at the same distance as your
main subject, then recompose to take the picture.
2 The subject within the focus
frame is low in contrast.
1 The subject is too dark.
3 Two subjects at different
distances overlap in the
focus frame.
4 The subject is near a very
bright object or area.
The camera is focused on the subject and the focus is locked.
The subject is too close or a special focusing situation is pre-
venting the autofocus system from locking on the subject.
