Poor focusing conditions

The camera may not be able to focus under the following conditions. In these cases, lock the focus on an object the same distance away as the subject (by pressing and holding the shutter release button halfway), then aim the camera at your subject and press the shutter release button fully.

•Objects that lack contrast such as a blue sky or white wall

•Dark places or objects, or conditions that prevent light being reflected back

•Horizontal lines or intricate patterns

•Fast moving objects

•When there is an object in the foreground and an object in the background in the captured area

•Strongly reflected light or strong backlighting (bright background)

Blink Detection

If the camera detects that the subject’s eyes are closed while the Face Recognition (p.65) is activated, the message [Closed eyes have been detected.] appears during Instant Review.

•When the Face Recognition function (p.65) does not work, Blink Detection also does not function. Even if the subject’s faces are recognized, Blink Detection may not function depending on the condition of the recognized faces.

•You can also disable Blink Detection function (p.97).
