It may be diffi cult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.
AF confi rmation
mark is blinking.
These subjects
are not focused.
AF confi rmation
mark lights up but
the subject is not
focused.
In any situation, focus on something with high contrast that is at the same distance as
the subject, determine the composition and shoot the picture. g "Focus lock" (P. 46)
Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions.
This is due to a phenomenon called fl are or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a
composition where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even
when a light source is not present in the picture. Use a lens hood to shade the lens
from the light source. If a lens hood does not have effect, use your hand to shade the
lens from the light. g "Interchangeable lenses" (P. 97)
Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken
This may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [PIXEL
MAPPING]. If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g "Pixel
10
mapping - Checking the image processing functions" (P. 94)

Functions that cannot be selected from menus

Some items may not be selectable from the menus when using the arrow pad.
• Items that cannot be set with the current shooting mode
• Items that cannot be set because of an item that has already been set:
Combination of [j] and [NOISE REDUCT.], etc.
Camera vibration when the power is turned off
This is due to the camera initializing the image stabilizer mechanism. Without this
initialization, the image stabilizer may not be able to achieve the proper effect.
Set functions are restored to their factory default settings
When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P,
A, S, or M, functions with changes made to their settings are restored to the factory
default settings.
