Cause
The autofocus may not work when the
subject is out of the AF illuminator's
working distance (approx. 1 .2 ~ 7 m/
3.9 ~ 23 ft) or when the subject has low
contrast (blue or black).
The subject is not in focus.
The rewound film is still loaded.
The battery has not been recharged.
The shutter speed is set at faster
than 1/100-sec. (except in the Manual
Exposure and Portrait modes).
As the batteries get exhausted, the
fast zooming speed becomes slower,
and the difference between the fast
and slow zooming speeds becomes
smaller.
Remedy
Use the power focus, or move the
camera closer to the subject.
Make sure the subject is in focus
and the autofocus indicator in the
viewfinder lights.
Remove the film.
Wait until lights.
Set the flash mode to one other
than Fill-in.
Check the batteries on the LCD
panel. If the display blinks, replace
the batteries.
