SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
Some subjects or scenes, such as those described below, are difficult for the autofocus
system to detect. To ensure proper focus in these situations, first lock focus on another object
at the same distance from you as your main subject, recompose, then press the shutter-
release button all the way down to take the picture.
When a very bright or low
contrast area fills the center
of the viewfinder.
The ready lamp will blink
slowly to warn you that
focus may not be accurate.
When your subject is near a
very bright object or area.
The ready lamp may glow,
but the focus may not be
accurate.
When two subjects overlap
in the focus frame.
The ready lamp will glow,
but the closer of the two
subjects will be in focus.
When a subject composed
of alternating light and dark
lines fills the center of the
viewfinder.
The ready lamp will blink
rapidly and the shutter will
lock.
