When the camera has successfully completed this
automatic routine, the focus bracket will turn green.
If the automatic focus and exposure routine is not
successful, the bracket will turn red. If this occurs,

photo when the bracket is red, the focus and exposure may not be correct.

appears, hold the camera steadily, with your arms at your
side or use a tripod to stabilize the camera to reduce the risk of blurred photos.
