Focus signals

This digital camera has a quick, accurate autofocusing system. The focus icon in the lower right corner of the LCD monitor and the indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicate the focus status. The shutter can be released regardless of whether the camera can focus on the subject or not.

Focus confirmed - the LCD monitor focus signal is white and the viewfinder indicator lamp is green and steady.

Cannot focus - the LCD monitor focus signal is red and the viewfinder indicator lamp is green and blinking quickly. When the AF system cannot focus, the focus is set to 2m (6.5ft).

Special focusing situations

The camera may not be able to focus in certain situations. In these situations the focus-lock function (p. 24) can be used to focus on another object at the same distance as your main subject, and then the image can be recomposed to take the picture.
