Getting Good Results with Autofocus

Autofocus does not perform well under the conditions listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use manual focus ( 74) or use focus lock ( 70) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

Continuous Use of the AF-Assist Illuminator ( 72)

After the AF-assist illuminator has been used for several consecutive shots, it may turn off briefly to protect the lamp. The illuminator can be used again after a short pause. Note that the illuminator may become hot with continuous use.
