SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS
32
Some scenes or subjects, like the examples below, are difficult for the autofocus system to
lock on to. When the focus will not lock, focus hold (p. 34) on another object the same
distance from you as your main subject, recompose, then press the shutter-release button
all-the-way down to take the picture.
When a very bright or low
contrast area fills the focus
frame.
The green focus lamp will blink slowly
to warn you that focus may not be
accurate.
When your subject is near
a very bright object or
area.
The green focus lamp may glow, but
the focus may not be accurate.
When two subjects
overlap in the focus frame.
The green focus lamp will glow and
the closer of the two subjects will be
in focus.
When a subject composed
of alternating light and
dark lines fills the focus
frame.
The green focus lamp will blink
rapidly and the shutter will lock.
