The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot focus on a
subject, the focus icon will turn red. In this situation, focus-lock with Focus Area Selection can be
used to focus on an object at the same distance as the main subject and then the image can be
recomposed on the monitor (p. 52, 53).
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.
Cannot focus. The subject is too close or a special
situation is preventing the AF system from focusing.
If the subject lock is lost, the monitor icon will change from white to red, but the focus lamp will con-
tinue to glow steadily. For more about Subject Tracking AF, see page 65.
When the AF system cannot focus, focus lock with Focus Area Selection can be used (p. 53, 52).
