If the camera’s focus does not focus, the easiest solution is to use the focus lock. Use this
when composing the subject outside of the AF targets or when the subject is difficult to focus
on.
1
Adjust 1 selected AF target to the subject to be
focused and press the shutter button halfway
until the AF confirmation mark lights up.
(Single target AF mode)
• The focus is locked. The AF confirmation mark and
the AF target in focus light up on the LCD monitor.
• If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the shutter
button halfway again.
• The AF target mark is displayed for only a moment
when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
2
While pressing the shutter button halfway,
move to the desired composition and press the
button all the way.
• The card access lamp blinks while the picture is
being stored on the card.
If the subject has lower contrast than its surroundings
If the contrast of the subject is weak, such as when the lighting is insufficient or the subject
cannot be seen clearly because of fog, the focus may not be achieved. Focus (focus lock) on
a high-contrast object the same distance away as the intended subject, recompose your shot
and then take the picture.
