Cause
Check if batteries are installed. If not,

Replace with a charged battery set or use
the AC adapter D-AC50 (optional). (p.47)
Set the lens aperture ring to the s position
(p.147) or select [Permitted] in [Using
aperture ring] in the [A Custom Setting]
menu (p.210).
Wait until charging is finished.
Insert SD Memory Card with available space
or delete unwanted images. (p.48, p.100)
Wait until recording is finished.
Autofocus cannot focus well on subjects
that have low contrast (the sky, white
walls), dark colors, intricate designs, are
moving quickly or scenery shot through a
window or a net-like pattern. Lock focus on
another object located at the same
distance as your subject (press shutter
release button halfway), then aim at target
and press shutter release button fully.
Alternatively, use manual focus. (p.136)
Position subject in focus frame in middle of
viewfinder. If the subject is outside the
focusing area, aim the camera at the
subject and lock the focus (press shutter
release button halfway), then compose
picture and press the shutter release
button fully.
Move away from the subject and take a
picture.
Set the focus mode lever to l (Single
mode). (p.130)
Autofocus is not locked (focus lock) when focus
mode is set to k. The camera will continue
focusing on the subject while the shutter
release button is pressed halfway. If there is a
subject that you wish to focus on, slide the
focus mode lever to l and use focus lock.
