If correct focus cannot be obtained (Focus lock) The camera's auto focus may not be able to focus on the subject in situations such as when the subject is not in the center of the frame. If this happens, the easiest solution is to use focus lock. 1 Adjust the AF frame with the subject to be focused and press the shutter button halfway until the AF confirmation mark lights up. • The focus is locked. The AF confirmation mark and the AF focusing frame light up in the viewfinder. • If the AF confirmation mark blinks, press the shutter button halfway again. • While the shutter button is being pressed, the control panel screen disappears.

AF confirmation mark If the subject has lower contrast than its surroundings If the contrast of the subject is weak, such as when the lighting is insufficient or the subject cannot be seen clearly because of fog, the focus may not be achieved. Focus (focus lock) on a high-contrast object the same distance away as the intended subject, recompose your shot and then take the picture. AE bracketing The camera automatically shoots a number of pictures at different exposure values for each frame. Even in conditions where correct exposure is difficult to obtain (such as a backlit subject or a scene at dusk), you can pick the picture you prefer from a selected number of frames with a variety of different exposure settings (exposure and compensation values). The pictures are taken in the following order: Picture with optimum exposure, picture adjusted in - direction, and picture adjusted in + direction. EN 37
