About Auto Focus
When you try to shoot a subject that is hard
to focus on, the AE/AF lock indicator will
change to flashing slowly and the AE lock
beep does not sound.
The Auto Focus function may be difficult to
use with in the following subjects. In such
cases, release the shutter button, then try to
recompose the shot and focus again.
• The subject is distant from the camera
and dark
• The contrast between the subject and its
background is poor
• The subject is seen through glass, such as
a window
• A fast-moving subject
• The subject has a reflection, such as that
from a mirror, or there is a luminous body
and a lustrous subject
• A flashing subject
• A backlit subject.
There are two Auto Focus functions: “AF
range finder frame” which sets the focus
position according to the subject position
and size, and “AF mode” which sets when
the camera starts and stops focusing on.
