automatically by half-pressing the shutter button. However, if the subject is difficult for the camera to
focus on, the

mark blinks in the viewfinder and monitor. In that case, try the following methods:
• Point the camera slightly away from the subject to shift the AF target mark in the viewfinder and
half-press the shutter button again, or
• Use manual focusing.
When fully-pressing the shutter button with one stroke, taking the picture takes precedence over
focusing even if the subject may not be completely focused. To completely focus the shot, half-press
the shutter button to confirm the AF correct mark and then fully-press the shutter button.
