Problem Subjects for Autofocusing

The EOS D60 has a precision AF system that can focus on most subjects. However, it may not be able to focus on subjects (focus confirmation light <●> blinks) in particular conditions such as the following:

Difficult-to-Focus Subjects

●Very low-contrast subjects, such as a blue sky or single-color wall

●Subjects in very dark locations

●Extremely backlit or reflective subjects, such as a shiny new car

●Overlapping nearby and distant objects, such as cage bars and the animal inside the cage

In such cases, use one of the following procedures:

(1)Focus on an object that is at the same distance as the desired subject, apply Focus Lock, then recompose the picture.

(2)Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF > (or <M >), and focus manually.

Manual FocusSet the lens focus mode switch to1 <MF> (or <M> on older lenses).

➡ The <> icon appears on the LCD panel.

Focus on the subject.

2 ● Turn the manual focusing ring on the lens until the subject appears sharp in the viewfinder.

● If you press and hold the shutter button down halfway as you focus manually, you will see the AF point where the subject is focused, and the focus confirmation light <●> will light.

●During manual focus, the beeper will not sound even when focus is achieved.
