LAMP INDICATIONS

way down, the lamp O, 0 and/or 0 lights up or
blinks as shown above.
O Green lamp (Focus status) :
When the subject is in focus, it will light up to in¬
dicate that you can take the picture; when the sub¬
ject is not in focus, it will blink, indicating that
you cannot take the picture because the camera-
to-subject distance is too close or is a hard-to-
autofocus subject. See page 40.
• The auto focus frame also blinks when the sub¬
ject is difficult to autofocus.
0
