The subject is not in the AF frame.			Use AF lock (Focus mode: AF (CENTER))_I or MF.
The subject is not suited to AF.			Use AF lock (Focus mode: AF (CENTER))=_I or MF.
The subject is outside the shooting range.			Turn Macro mode on or off (22).
The subject is moving too quickly.			Use MF (pre=settingthe shooting distance for a shot (lock pin))
