Step 3 Focus And Shoot - Nikon Coolpix S560 User Manual

Step 3 Focus and Shoot
~
During Recording
While the indicator of the number of exposures remaining is blinking on the monitor, pictures are
being recorded. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover. Removing the memory
card or battery while pictures are being recorded could result in loss of data or irl damage to the
recorded data, camera or card.

Autofocus
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 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 the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several
times, or focus on another subject and use focus lock
(~
104). When using focus lock, be sure that
the distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that
for the actual subject.

Blink Warning
If the
Did someone blink?
screen is displayed shortly after the picture is taken in the Face Priority,
someone's eyes may have been closed during the shot
(~
127).
• Human subjects with eyes closed will be framed by a yellow border in
Blink Warning
screen.
• To return to the shooting mode, press
®
or press the shutter-release button halfway (~ 128).

AF-assist Illuminator and Flash
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (~ 124) may light by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway, or the flash (~ 28) may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down.
