ADJUSTING THE FOCUS
FOCUS LAMP
When the shutter-release button is pressed half-way, the camera adjusts the focus automatically and
the focus lamp (green) shows the focus status (when the focus mode is set to the autofocus mode.)
When the focus lamp (green) blinks, check the following points:
• Do you need to adjust the focus on the subject which is difficult to focus in the autofocus mode?
(See page 38).
• Is the subject closer than the minimum focus distance [or farther than 15.7 inches (39.9 cm) in the
close up mode]? (Refer to the following.)
FOCUS DISTANCE IN THE AUTOFOCUS MODE (Minimum Focus Distance)
The focus distance in the autofocus mode is described on the list below.
When the subject is closer than the minimum focus distance of 15.7 inches (40 cm) or farther than
15.7 inches (40 cm) in the close up mode, the focus lamp (green) blinks.
