Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 37
z If the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets
turn red, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for
your picture or video clip, and then press the Shutter button
halfway down again. If the AF viewfinder light continues to
blink green and the focus brackets continue to turn red after
several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the
focus region. Try using a technique called Focus Lock to
focus on an object about the same distance away but in a
higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the
Shutter button, point the camera at the object you were
originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on
page 38). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is
possible.
z If the AF viewfinder light blinks green, the focus brackets
turn red, and either the Macro icon or the Super
Macro blinks in the Live View screen, one of the
following is true:
• The camera is set to the Normal Focus range but detects
the focus is closer than the normal range. The camera will
not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
• The camera is set to the Macro (close-up) focus range but
detects the focus is closer or farther away than the Macro
range. In this case, the camera will not take a picture if it
cannot find focus.
• The camera is set to the Super Macro (super close-up)
focus range but detects the focus is farther away than the
Super Macro range. In this case, the camera will not take
a picture if it cannot find focus.
