* Appears when the scene is dark and the camera is attached to a tripod.
Under certain conditions, the icon that appears may not match the actual
scene. Especially when there is an orange or blue colored background (a
wall for example),
it may not be possible to shoot with the appropriate color. If this happens,
try shooting in G mode (p. 70).
When the camera focuses, it will beep
twice and AF frames will appear where the
camera focused.
Several AF frames will appear when the
camera focuses on more than one point.
