Using the Shutter Release Button
Instant Review
• When the camera detects that the subject’s eyes are closed, the
message “Closed eyes have been detected.” appears during
Instant Review (This function is called “Blink Detection”).
• Even when Instant Review is set shorter than [3sec], the message
appears for 3 seconds.
• When the Face Recognition function (p.59) does not work, “Blink
Detection” also does not function. Even if the subject’s faces are
recognized, “Blink Detection” does not function depending on the
condition of the recognized faces.
[Poor focusing conditions]
The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In
these cases, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the
subject (by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway), then
aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.
• Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall
• Dark places, objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected
back
• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns
• Fast moving objects
• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the
background in the same picture
• Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)
