Poor focusing conditions

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

• Horizontal lines or intricate patterns
• Fast moving objects
• When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the background
in the captured area

Blink Detection
If the camera detects that the subject’s eyes are closed while the Face Recognition
(p.63) is activated, the message [Closed eyes have been detected.] appears
during Instant Review.
• Even when Instant Review is set shorter than [3sec], the message [Closed
eyes have been detected.] appears for 3 seconds.
• When the Face Recognition function (p.63) 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.
• You can also disable Blink Detection function (p.102).
