When you press the shutter halfway and the green LED flashes…

This may suggest that the focusing on the subject is difficult, and/or the subject is too dark. Should this be the case, please take the following steps.

•Make sure that the camera is not too close to the subject, then align the subject to the auto-focus mark in the center of the viewfinder. (For the shooting distance, see page 32.)

•If the subject is too dark (such as a person in the shade), use the flash (pp.38-40).

•Use a similar subject, at the same distance and with the same brightness, to adjust the auto focus and exposure. After the focus lock is set, aim at your original subject and shoot your picture (p.34).
