In-focus indicator

Focusing point indicator

Press the shutter button down halfway to activate AF operation and focus once.

When the camera has focused, the focusing point indicator and the in-focus indicator in the viewfinder light at the same time.

When using evaluative metering, the exposure setting is determined when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus remain locked as long as the shutter button is pressed down halfway. You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and focus (62).

If the camera cannot focus, the in-focus indicator () in the viewfinder blinks. If this happens, you will not be able to take a picture even if you press the shutter button down fully. Instead, reframe the shot and focus again. See also, “Manual Focus” (63).
