When you place the AF target mark on a subject and press the shutter button
halfway, the green lamp lights up. This means that focusing has been
performed automatically.
If the green lamp blinks, focusing is not correct. If this happens, use Focus
lock (P. 37).
When you are too close to a subject, the green lamp blinks. If this happens,
try macro mode shooting (P. 55).
