zIf you shoot a still image of a subject that is difficult to focus on
•The shortest shooting distance is approximately 10 cm (4 inches) (W), 50 cm (19 3/4 inches) (T) (from the lens).
•When the camera cannot focus on the subject automatically, the AE/AF lock indicator changes to flash slowly and the beep does not sound. Either recompose the shot or change the focus setting (page 46).
