•If the exposure is not adequate when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the aperture value and the shutter speed on the LCD monitor (information display screen) turn red. The aperture value and the shutter speed blink on the Viewfinder. (They do not blink when the flash is activated.)
•Program shift is canceled and the camera returns to normal program AE mode if more than 10 seconds pass after program shift is activated. However, the program shift setting is memorized.
•Depending on the brightness of the subject, program shift may not be activated.

Taking good pictures
∫Focusing
•The focus range with auto focus is 29 cm (0.95 feet) to ¶. (when the supplied lens is attached)
•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.
•The camera will not focus on subjects properly in the following cases.
–When there are both near and distant subjects in a scene.
–When there is dirt or dust on glass between the lens and the subject.
–When there are illuminated or glittering objects around the subject.
–When taking a picture in dark places.
–When the subject is moving fast.
–When the scene has low contrast.
–When jitter occurs.
–When recording a very bright subject.
–When taking pictures of objects with a repeated pattern e.g. the windows on a building.
We recommend taking pictures using AF/ AE lock (P63). In dark places, the AF assist lamp (P82) may turn on for focusing on the subject.
•Even when the focus indication appears and the subject is focused, it is canceled if you release the shutter button. Press the shutter button halfway again.
