Step 3 Focus and Shoot
Basic Photography and Playback: Easy Auto Mode
B During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining display will blink. Do not
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
Removing the battery or the memory card while data is being saved may result in loss of data or in
damage to the saved data, camera or card.
B Autofocus performance
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject
and the subject is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a
white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In these situations, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway again to refocus, several times if
necessary. If the subject is still not in focus, select auto mode and use focus lock (A29) to take the
picture by first focusing on an object that is the same distance from the camera as the desired
subject.
C Notes about Face Detection
See “Notes about Face Detection” (A28) for more information.
C The Did someone blink? Screen
When d Blink warning is set to On, the Did someone blink? screen (A 102) is displayed after
taking a picture if the camera detects a face with closed eyes.
D AF-assist Illuminator and Flash
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 97) may light when the shutter-release button
is pressed halfway, and the flash (A 30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the
way down.
