If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult
to focus on
• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 1 cm (13/32 inches) (W), 150 cm (4 feet
11 1/8 inches) (T) (from the lens).
• When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to
flash slowly and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting
(page 40).
• Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:
– It is dark and the subject is in distance
– 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 flashing
– The subject is backlit
