If you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult to focus on
• The shortest shooting distance is approximately 5 cm (2 inches) (W)/34 cm (1 foot 1 1/2 inches) (T) (from
the front of the lens).

slowly and the beep does not sound. In addition, the AF range finder frame disappears. Recompose the
shot and focus again.
Focusing may be difficult in the following situations:

– The contrast between the subject and the background is poor.
– The subject is seen through glass.
– The subject is moving quickly.
– There is reflective light or shiny surfaces.
– The subject is backlit or there is a flashing light.
