• AF/AE lock can be applied repeatedly before the shutter
is released.

shutter button down halfway locks the focus and
exposure settings (AF and AE lock).
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix S6000fd / FinePix S6500fd uses a high-precision
autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty
focusing on the following:
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
• Dark subjects
• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
• 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.39) or “MF” Manual
focus mode (➝p.72).
