● The following subjects may be difficult to bring into focus:
• Subjects with no contrast (variance in brightness, e.g., the sky, a white wall,
the hood of a car)
• Subjects with only horizontal lines and no surface texture
• Quickly moving subjects
• Poorly lit subjects (in a dark place)
• Subjects with a strong light or reflected light behind them
• Subjects in a flickering light, such as a fluorescent light
In the above circumstances, take your picture after the focus lock is set to
the same distance and brightness as the subject.
(Cont'd)
1. Align the auto focus mark on the
subject, and push the shutter button
half-way. The green LED light will come
on, locking the focus position.
• When you take pictures using the
viewfinder, no auto-focus mark is
displayed. Position the subject in the
center of the image.
• The exposure is fixed at the same time the
focus is locked.
• If you release your finger from the half-
pushed shutter button, the focus lock will
be released and you can repeat the
procedure.
2. With the shutter button pressed half-
way, re-compose your photo and press
the shutter button all the way to take
the picture.
• When re-composing the photo, do not
change the shooting distance. If the distance
has changed, repeat the procedure.
