Shooting Range and Focusing

Focusing may not be possible in some shooting conditions.

In low-light conditions, Servo AF may not be activated (AF frames may not turn blue) when you press the shutter button halfway. In this case, the focus and exposure are set according to the specified AF frame mode.

If adequate exposure cannot be obtained, shutter speeds and aperture values are displayed in orange. Release the shutter button, and then press it halfway again.

AF lock shooting is not available.

[AF-Point Zoom] on the 4 tab is not available.

Not available when using the self-timer (p. 62).
