If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult to focus on
• The shortest shooting distance is approx. 50 cm (19 3/4 inches). Shoot in the close-up (Macro) mode or
Close focus mode when you shoot a subject closer than the shooting distance (page 30).
• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to flash
slowly and the beep does not sound. In addition, the AF range finder frame disappears. Recompose the
shot and focus again.
Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:
– It is dark and the subject is distant.
– The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.
– The subject is seen through glass.
– The subject is moving quickly.
– There is reflective light or shiny surfaces.
– The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.
