Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode Step 3 Focus and Shoot B During Saving While images are being saved, the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while images are being saved. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card. B Autofocus Autofocus 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 (e.g. the subject is inside a cage) • Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.) • Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A 46). B When the Subject Is Close to the Camera If the camera cannot focus, try shooting with macro mode (A 33) or the Close-up scene mode (A 58). C AF-assist Illuminator and Flash If the subject is dimly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 131) may light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, or the flash (A 30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down. 27
