Problem Subjects for Autofocusing
The EOS D60 has a precision AF system that can focus on most subjects. However, it may not
be able to focus on subjects (focus confirmation light <
● > blinks) in particular conditions such
as the following:
Difficult-to-Focus Subjects
● Very low-contrast subjects, such as a blue sky or single-color wall
● Subjects in very dark locations
● Extremely backlit or reflective subjects, such as a shiny new car
● Overlapping nearby and distant objects, such as cage bars and the animal inside the cage
In such cases, use one of the following procedures:
(1) Focus on an object that is at the same distance as the desired subject, apply Focus Lock,
then recompose the picture.
(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to < MF > (or < M >), and focus manually.
Manual Focus
1 Set the lens focus mode switch to
< MF > (or < M > on older lenses).
➡ The < > icon appears on the LCD panel.
2 Focus on the subject.
● Turn the manual focusing ring on the lens
until the subject appears sharp in the
viewfinder.
● If you press and hold the shutter button down halfway as you focus manually,
you will see the AF point where the subject is focused, and the focus confirma-
tion light <
● > will light.
● During manual focus, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
