Focusing
As the shutter release is
pressed halfway, the camera
automatically focuses on
your subject. The green lamp
near the viewfinder eyepiece
signals the focus status.
If the lamp lights green
(after a few fractions of a
second), focus is set and you
may press the shutter
release to take your picture.
Should the green lamp blink,
check the following points:
Did you try to focus on a
detail that is difficult to focus
on? (See page opposite.)
Is your subject less than the
minimum focusing distance
away (or over 40 cm in
Macro mode)?
The autofocus system is
center-weighted and uses
image contrast (the
difference between dark and
bright details) to detect
focus. This is why there are
some subjects that make
autofocusing impossible.
In this case either use focus
lock, focusing on a subject at
the same distance, or switch
to manual focusing.
Special focusing
situations
Your subject is too dark.
Your subject has insufficient
contrast, such as blue sky or
a white wall.
Subjects located at different
distances overlap in the
focus area.
Your subject is too bright,
such as highly glossy car
paint or a shiny water
surface.
The autofocus system is
center-weighted. If your
subject is off center, the
camera will focus on the
background. In this case, use
focus lock:
Place your main subject in
the center of the TFT screen
and press the shutter release
halfway
. Then recompose
without letting go of the
shutter release and finally
press the release fully to
take your picture.
