Using auto focus

The circle in the viewfinder and the two brackets in the middle of the Live View screen show the focus region for the picture you are taking. (See Using the viewfinder on page 28 and Using live view on page 29.) When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera uses this focus region to automatically measure and then lock the focus.

The AF viewfinder light turns on solid green and the focus brackets in the Live View screen turn green when the image is in focus and the camera can lock the focus. However, the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets in Live View turn red when the camera is unable to focus.

If the viewfinder light blinks and the focus brackets turn red, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for your picture, and then press the Shutter button halfway down again. If the viewfinder light continues to blink and the focus brackets continue to turn red after several tries, the lighting may be too low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus region. Try using Focus Lock (see the next section).

NOTE When set to Macro Exposure Mode, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
