zIf the AF viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets turn red, release the Shutter button, re-frame the subject for your picture or video clip, and then press the Shutter button halfway down again. If the AF viewfinder light continues to blink green and the focus brackets continue to turn red after several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the focus region. Try using a technique called Focus Lock to focus on an object about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the Shutter button, point the camera at the object you were originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on page 38). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is possible.
zIf the AF viewfinder light blinks green, the focus brackets turn red, and either the Macro 
icon or the Super Macro 
blinks in the Live View screen, one of the following is true:
•The camera is set to the Normal Focus range but detects the focus is closer than the normal range. The camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
•The camera is set to the Macro (close-up) focus range but detects the focus is closer or farther away than the Macro range. In this case, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
•The camera is set to the Super Macro (super close-up) focus range but detects the focus is farther away than the Super Macro range. In this case, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
