Focusing the Camera
Using Auto Focus
The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus
region for the still picture you are taking or the video clip you
are recording. (See Using Live View on page 30.) When you
press the Shutter button halfway down to take a still picture, the
camera automatically measures and then locks the focus in the
focus region. The AF viewfinder light turns on solid green and
the focus brackets in the Live View screen turn green when the
camera has found and locked the focus.
When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes
other than Macro (see Using the Shooting Modes on
page 38), the camera will attempt to auto focus using the
normal focus range of 0.5 m (20 in) to infinity. However, when
the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, one of the
following will occur:
z The AF viewfinder light will blink green and the focus
brackets in Live View will turn red. If you press the Shutter
button all the way down, the camera will still take the
picture, but the picture may be out of focus. To focus the
picture, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for
your picture, and then press the Shutter button halfway
down again.
