This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system.
The focus icon in the
lower right corner of the LCD monitor and the green focus lamp next to the viewfinder
indicate the focus status.
Subject locked. The camera will continue the track
the subject within the focus frames.
Focus icon: white
Focus lamp: steady
Focus icon: red
Focus lamp: blinking
The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system
cannot focus on a subject, the focus icon will turn red. In this situation, focus-lock with
Focus Area Selection can be used to focus on an object at the same distance as the
main subject and then the image can be recomposed on the monitor (p. 50, 51).
The subject in the
focus frame is low in
contrast. The subject is too dark. Two subjects at differ-
ent distances overlap
in the focus frame. The subject is near a
very bright object or
area.
Cannot focus. The subject is too close or a special
situation is preventing the AF system from focusing.
• If the subject lock is lost, the monitor icon will change from white to red, but the focus lamp
will continue to glow steadily. For more about Subject Tracking AF, see page 64.
• The shutter can be released even if the camera cannot focus on the subject.
• When the AF system cannot focus, the focus is set to 2 m (6.5 ft). In this case, focus lock
with Focus Area Selection can be used (p. 50, 51).

Focus signals
Special focusing situations
Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to
take the picture.
• The access lamp will turn red indicating image data is being
written to the memory card. Never remove a memory card
while data is being transferred.
With the mode dial set to auto recording, the camera will be on and
the LCD monitor will activate. Auto recording mode uses two
advanced AF systems. Area AF and Subject Tracking AF, to locate
and track the subject in the the extra-wide focus frames.
Place the subject anywhere within the focus frame.
• Make sure the subject is within the focus range of the lens:
0.5m -
∞
(1.6ft -
∞
). For subjects closer than 0.5m, use the
macro function (p. 29).
• If the subject is closer than 1m at the wide-angle lens
position or 3m at the telephoto lens position, use the LCD
monitor to frame the subject.
Basic recording operation
Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to
lock the subject and exposure.
• The focus signals on the monitor will confirm subject lock. If
the focus signal is red, the camera was unable to locate the
subject. Repeat the previous steps until the signal is white.
• When the subject lock engages, an AF sensor will appear
on the live image to indicate the subject. If the subject
moves within the focus frames, the AF sensor will change to
track the subject.
• The shutter speed and aperture will appear indicating the
exposure is locked.
