There are a few conditions when the camera’s autofocus system may not function
accurately. At these times, you should use the “Auto-Focus Lock” settings (→p.33)
or the “Landscape Mode” setting (→p.55). Conditions requiring these settings in-
clude:
•A bright light source within the picture such as the sun near your subject, a strong light reflec-
tion such as from water or from the windshield of a car;
•A mirror or other strongly reflective surface near the center of the picture;
•When the subject is only composed of vertical lines.
•When the subject is moving at high speed.
•When the background is much brighter than the subject.
BAIn the following cases, the AF lamp blinks slowly to warn you that the picture is out
of focus.The focal distance is fixed at 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) -∞.
ÅWhen the contrast of the subject is very low.
ıWhen the subject is composed of a repetitive pattern.
