Shooting still images About Auto Focus When you try to shoot a subject that is hard to focus on, the AE/AF lock indicator will change to flashing slowly and the AE lock beep does not sound (except in Continuous AF, page 66). The Auto Focus function may be difficult to use with in the following subjects. In such cases, release the shutter button, then try to recompose the shot and focus again. • The subject is distant from the camera and dark • The contrast between the subject and its background is poor • The subject is seen through glass, such as a window • A fast-moving subject • The subject has a reflection, such as that from a mirror, or there is a luminous body and a lustrous subject • A flashing subject • A backlit subject. There are two Auto Focus functions: "AF range finder frame" which sets the focus position according to the subject position and size, and "AF mode" which sets when the camera starts and stops focusing on. See page 65 for details. Checking the last image shot - Quick Review 80min Review 8M 101 8/8 101-0008 2004 1 1 10:30PM , Press 7 (quick review).
