Focusing the Camera

The focus brackets in the Live View screen show the focus region for the still picture you are taking or the video clip you are recording. When you press the Shutter button halfway down to take a still picture, the camera automatically measures and locks the focus and exposure in the focus region. The focus brackets in the Live View screen turn green when the camera has found and locked the focus and exposure. This is called auto focus.

Obtaining Optimum Focus

When you have set the camera to any of the shooting modes other than Macro (see Using the Shooting Modes on page 42), the camera will attempt to auto focus using the normal focus range of 50 cm (20 in) to infinity. However, when the camera cannot focus in these shooting modes, one of the following occurs:

The AF viewfinder light will blink green and the focus brackets in Live View will turn red. If you press the Shutter button all the way down, the camera will still take the picture, but the picture may be out of focus.
