Focusing
Situations where
Autofocus May Not Work
as Expected
Although your camera is equipped with highly precise AF system, in some
cases autofocus does not work as expected.
• Low-contrast subjects, such as a blue sky or a blank wall or when the
color of the subject is same as the background.
• The subject is located in a very low light environment
• Overlapping near and far objects, such as an animal behind a fence
• A subject moving at a high speed
• Subjects, with repeated patterns such as windows in a building
In such situations, please use one of the following focusing methods:
• Use Focus Lock (see page 8-5) to focus on another subject that is about
the same distance from the camera as your subject.
• Set the lens to M mode and focus manually.
Selecting the Autofocus
Mode
• Press the AF Mode button and turn the C-Dial to select either the
(Single AF Mode) or (Continuous AF Mode) icon on the Top Status
LCD.
