Focus Signals; Special Focusing Situations - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 Instruction Manual

FOCUS SIGNALS

This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus signals in the
lower right corner of the EVF and LCD monitor indicate the focus status. For more
information on autofocus modes, see p. 44.
White focus indicator - focus confirmed.
Red focus indicator - the subject is too close or a special situation is
preventing the AF system from focusing. The shutter can be released.
If the AF system cannot focus on a certain subject, focus lock can be used with an object
at the same distance as the main subject or the camera can be focused manually (p. 45).

SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS

The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. If the autofocus system cannot
focus on a subject, the focus icon will turn red. In this situation the focus-lock function can
be used to focus on another object at the same distance as your main subject, and then
the image can be recomposed to take the picture.
The subject is too dark. The subject in the
focus frame is low in
contrast.
Two subjects at differ-
ent distances overlap
in the focus frame.
The subject is near a
very bright object or
area.
