Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Step 3 Focus and Shoot j During Recording While pictures are being recorded, the y (wait) icon will be displayed, and the M icon or the O icon (when memory card is inserted) will blink. Do not turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, or remove or disconnect the power source while these icons are displayed. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card. k Autofocus Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations: • Subject is very dark • Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind the subject and is in deep shadow) • No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g., when the subject is standing in front of a white wall, wearing a white shirt) • Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g., the subject is inside a cage) • Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or use focus lock below. l Focus Lock To focus on off-center subjects, use focus lock as described below. 1 Position the subject in the center of the frame. 12 2 Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. • Confirm that the focus indicator (p) is green. 12 3 Continue holding down the shutter-release button halfway and recompose the picture. • Be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject does not change. 12 4 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. 25
