˔ Photos are out of focus: • Is the camera in manual focus mode? To enable autofocus, select AF-S, AF-C, or AF-F for focus mode. • Autofocus does not perform well under the following conditions. In these cases, use manual focus or focus lock. Autofocus does not perform well if: there is little or no contrast between the subject and the background, the focus point contains objects at different distances from the camera, the subject is dominated by regular geometric patterns, the focus point contains areas of sharply contrasting brightness, background objects appear larger than the subject, or the subject contains many fine details. • In focus mode AF-C, the focus point may flash while the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway or the AF-ON button is pressed, indicating that the camera is no longer able to focus. The focus operation can be resumed by releasing and then pressing the button again. ˔ The beep does not sound: • Is [On] selected for [Silent photography] in the photo shooting menu? • A beep does not sound when the camera focuses with AF-C selected for focus mode. • Select an option other than [Off] for [Beep options] > [Beep on/off] in the setup menu. • The beep does not sound in movie mode. ˔ The full range of shutter speeds is not available: Using a flash restricts the range of shutter speeds available. Flash sync speed can be set to values of 1/200-1/60 s using Custom Setting e1 [Flash sync speed]. When using flash units that support auto FP highspeed sync, choose [1/200 s (Auto FP)] for a full range of shutter speeds. 664 Problems and Solutions
