Subjects not suitable for autofocus
◆
FinePix F470 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing
on the following:
h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body
h Subjects photographed through glass
h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair
or fur
h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or
flames
h Dark subjects
h Fast moving subjects
h Subjects with little or no contrast between the
subject and the background (such as white
walls or subjects dressed in the same color as
the background)
h Shots where another high-contrast object (not
the subject) is close to the AF frame and is
either closer or further away than your subject
(such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting
elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➡P.24).

■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card / internal memory
The table below shows the standard number of frames for internal memory or a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the
camera. The larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the
number shown here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may
decrease by 2 or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
