hSubjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur.
hSubjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames.
hWhen the subject is dark.
hWhen there is very little contrast between the subject
and the background (such as white walls or subjects
dressed in the same color as the background).
hSubjects moving at high speed.
hWhen something other than your subject is close to
the AF frame, has contrasting areas of light and
dark and is either closer or further away than your
subject (as when you photograph someone against
a background with strongly contrasting elements).
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock (➡P.29).
◆ Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus◆
Though the FinePix F410 uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or not be able
to focus at all on the types of subject and situation listed below. In such cases, the image may be out of focus.
SHOOTING STILL IMAGES (|AUTO MODE)
q
MODE
77 Click
8If you press the shutter button down fully without
releasing it, the camera makes a clicking noise
and takes the picture. The camera then records
the photographed image.
●
!
You can adjust the volume of the camera operation
noises (“bebeep” and “click”)or switch them off
altogether in the SET–UP menu (➡P.82, 83).
●
!
There is a slight delay between the shutter button
being pressed and the shot being taken. If necessary,
play back the shot to check the image.
●
!
If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion,
the shot is taken without the AF frame changing.
●
!
When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights
orange (camera not ready)before switching back to
green to indicate that the camera is again ready for
shooting.
●
!
The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is
charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the
screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault.
●
!
See P.119-121 for information on the warning displays.
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your
subject (the viewfinder lamp (green)changes from
blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the
LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture.
●
!
If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “V”
appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.
●
!
When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image
on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not
the recorded image.
●
!
If “V” is displayed on the screen (e.g. the shot is too dark
for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.)from
your subject to take the picture.
