◆Subjects not suitable for autofocus ◆
FinePix V10 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing
on the following:
hVery shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body
hSubjects photographed through glass
hSubjects that do not reflect well, such as hair
or fur
hSubjects with no substance, such as smoke or
flames
hDark subjects
hFast moving subjects
hSubjects with little or no contrast between the
subject and the background (such as white
walls or subjects dressed in the same color as
the background)
hShots where another high-contrast object (not
the subject) is close to the AF frame and is
either closer or further away than your subject
(such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting
elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➡P.24).
Before the flash fires, “∑” appears on the LCD monitor. When selecting a slow shutter speed that
will cause camera shake, “|” appears on the LCD monitor. Use the flash to take pictures.
According to the scene or mode being shot, use a tripod.
NUMBER OF AVAILABLE FRAMES
The number of available frames appears on the
LCD monitor.

■Standard number of available frames per xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Cardformatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Cardcapacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown
here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2
or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
