SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
Some scenes or subjects, like the examples below, are difficult for the autofocus system to lock on to. When the focus will not lock, focus hold (p. 20) on another object the same distance from you as your main subject, recompose, then take the picture.
When your subject is near a very bright object or area.
When two subjects overlap in the focus frame.
When a very bright or low contrast area fills the focus frame.
When a subject composed of alternating light and dark lines fills the focus frame.
The green focus lamp will blink slowly to warn you that focus may not be accurate. Focus will be set to infinity without flash and between 3 - 6m (9.9 - 19.8 ft.) with flash.
