............_* Subjects not suitable for autofocus _b
Though the FinePix $7000 uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing at all
on the types of subjects and situations listed below. In such cases, the image may be out of focus.
• Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body.
• Subjects photographed through glass.
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair
or fur.
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or
flames.
When the subject is dark.
• Subjects moving at high speed.
When 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).
• When there is a high-contrast subject other
than the main subject at or near the center of
the image and that subject is closer to or
further from the camera than the main subject
(as when photographing someone against a
background with strongly contrasting
elements).
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock
(--P.27).

Also,because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of frames may notdecrease or may
decrease by 2when aframe is taken. Consequently, the actual number of frames may be more or less than what is
displayed.

!In ashot with this type of composition the subjects
(two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If
the picture is taken at this point, the subjects will
not be in focus.
2Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.
3Pressing the Shutter button down halfway, the
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on
