Wide Multi-Autofocus System
This camera uses a wide multi-
autofocus system that makes it easier
for the focus to lock on the subject
even if it's not in the center of the
frame.
Working Distance
The distance to your subject is 0.8 m (2.6 ft) to infinity at 38 mm wide
angle and 0.6 m (2.0 ft) to infinity at other focal lengths.
If the green indicator blinks, the shutter cannot be released.
Although the shutter will release when a subject is extremely close to
the camera , the subject will be out of focus.
In some cases, the autofocus may be unable to lock onto a subject.
