The lens may make a noise when the camera fo-
cuses; this is normal. In
M
mode, the cam-
era continuously adjusts focus and searches for
faces, increasing the drain on the battery.
If the camera is able to focus
, it will beep twice
and the indicator lamp will glow green.
If the camera is unable to focus
, the focus frame
will turn red,
s
will be displayed, and the
indicator lamp will blink green. Change the
composition or use focus lock (
P
37).
