Step 3 Focus and Shoot
Basic Photography and Playback: G Easy Auto Mode
B During Saving
While images are being saved, the number of exposures remaining display will blink. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
Removing the memory card or the battery during saving may result in loss of data or in damage to
the saved data, camera or card.
B Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject
and the subject is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is wearing a white shirt
and is standing in front of a white wall)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In these situations, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway again to refocus, several times if
necessary. If the subject is still not in focus, select auto mode and use focus lock (A 48) to take the
picture by first focusing on an object that is the same distance from the camera as the desired
subject.
C Notes on Face Detection
See “Notes on Face Detection” (A 28) for more information.
C The Did someone blink? Screen
When d Blink warning is set to On, the Did someone blink? screen (A 111) is displayed after
taking a picture if the camera detects a face with closed eyes.
D AF-assist Illuminator and Flash
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 106) may light by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway, or the flash (A 29) may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way
down.
