MEMO
• AF/AE lock can be applied repeatedly before the shutter
is released.
• On FinePix S5700 / FinePix S700, pressing the shutter
button down halfway locks the focus and exposure
settings (AF and AE lock).
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix S5700 / FinePix S700 uses a high-precision
autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty
focusing on the following:
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
• Dark subjects
• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
• Shots 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.34) or “MF” Manual
focus mode (➝p.86).
