Subjects Difficult to Autofocus
The green lamp blinks 16 times per second for subjects
with the following characteristics that cannot be brought
into focus.
Main types of subjects where focusing is difficult:
• Subjects without much contrast, e.g. blue sky, or scenes
of mainly one color
• Subjects in very dark places
• Subjects in extreme backlit situations or subjects which
are extremely reflective, e.g, the body of a car which
gives off a strong reflection
• Subjects in a photograph, some of which are close and
some of which are in the distance, e.g. animals in a cage
• Subjects with a repetitive pattern, e.g. continuous
windows in a building, etc.
If this happens, lock the focus on a subject (-> 24) that is
approximately the same distance away as your subject,
and recompose the shot.
Holding the Camera
• Grasp the camera firmly with both hands so that it does
not move, and make sure that your hair, fingers or
camera strap etc. do not come into contact with the
lens, the AF sensor or the flash.
i
* Place the tip of your finger on the shutter button and
holding the camera firmly, gently press down on the
shutter button.
