All the subjects covered by the AF points flashing in red will be in focus. 3 Take the picture. If the "30"" shutter speed blinks, it indicates that the subject is too dark. Increase the ISO speed. If the "8000" shutter speed blinks, it indicates that the subject is too bright. Decrease the ISO speed. If the aperture blinks, it indicates that the exposure level is correct but the desired depth of field cannot be obtained. Either use a wide-angle lens or move farther away from the subjects. If the camera sets a slow shutter speed, hold the camera steady or use a tripod. If you use flash, the result will be the same as using with flash. 99
