JI.utofocus 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 behind the subject
makes that subject appear very dark)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject, wearing a white shirt, is
standing in front of a white wall)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (eg. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the s,ituations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several
times, or focus on another subject and use focus lock
the dis:ance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that
for the actual subject.

Flash
• When the flash mode
and the subject is dimly lit, the built-in flash will pop up
automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway, and fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all
the way down. Once the flash has popped up, it will fire
automatically when the next picture is taken or the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway again under dim lighting.
