SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot focus on a
subject, the green focus lamp will blink. In this situation the focus-lock function can be used to focus
on another object at the same distance as your main subject, and then the image can be recom-
posed to take the picture.
The subject in the
focus frame is low in
contrast.
The subject is too dark. Two subjects at differ-
ent distances overlap
in the focus frame.
The subject is near a
very bright object or
area.
FOCUS LOCK
The focus-lock function is used when the subject is off-center and outside the focus frame. Focus
lock may also be used when a special focusing situation prevents the camera from focusing on the
subject.This function is controlled with the shutter-release button.
Center the subject within the focus
frame. Press and hold the shutter-
release button partway down.
• The green focus lamp will glow to
indicate that the focus is locked.
Without lifting your finger from the
shutter-release button, recompose
the subject within the image area.
Press the shutter-release button all
the way down to take the picture.
