Focus signals
Special focusing situations
This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The green indicator lamp next to the
viewfinder indicates the focus status. The shutter can be released regardless if the camera can
focus on the subject or not.
The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. In these situations, focus lock (p. 25) or
AF lock (p. 79) can be used to focus on another object at the same distance as your main subject,
and then the image can be recomposed to take the picture.
The subject in the AF
area is low in con-
trast.
The subject is too
dark.
The subject is com-
posed of broad hori-
zontal lines.
The subject is near a
very bright object or
area.
Focus confirmed – the green indicator lamp glows. Focus is locked.
Cannot focus – the green indicator lamp blinks.
The fixed focus modes can be used when a special focusing situation is preventing the cam-
era from focusing. These modes are activated with custom option in the setup menu (p. 77)
and set with the controller (p. 30).
