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
O 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
Set the lens focus mode switch to
<MF> (or <M> on older lenses).
jhe <(EQ> icon appears on the LCD panel.
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.
