Subjects/environments which may make focusing difficult:
• Fast-moving or extremely bright objects, or objects with no color contrast.
• Taking pictures through windows or near objects emitting light.
• In the dark, or with significant camera shake.
• When too close to an object or when both distant and close objects are contained
within the AF frame.
The focus display flashes and a beep sounds when the focus
setting is not correct or impossible.
Use the setting range displayed in red as a reference.
Even if the focus display is lit, the camera may be unable to
bring the subject into focus if it is out of range.
The AF frame display may be larger depending on recording
conditions such as dark locations or the zoom ratio.
