E: Changing the Autofocus ModeN If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Recompose the picture and try to focus again.
Page 83: S Selecting The Af Point
S Selecting the AF Point N In Basic Zone modes, the camera will normally focus the closest subject automatically. Therefore, it might not always focus your target subject. In the <d>, <s>, <f>, and <a> modes, you can select the AF point and use it to focus the target subject.
Page 84 S Selecting the AF Point N Shooting Tips When shooting a portrait up close, use One-Shot AF and focus the eyes. If you focus the eyes first, you can then recompose and the face will remain sharp. If it is difficult to focus, select and use the center AF point. The center AF point is the most sensitive among the nine AF points.
Page 85: Subjects Difficult To Focus
Subjects Difficult to Focus Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus confirmation light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following: Very low-contrast subjects. (Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc.) Subjects in very low light Extremely backlit or reflective subjects (Example: Car with a highly reflective body, etc.) Near and far subjects covered by an AF point (Example: Animal in a cage, etc.)
Page 86: Continuous Shooting
i Continuous ShootingN You can shoot up to about 3 shots per sec. This is effective for shooting a child running toward you or capturing different facial expressions. Shooting Tips Also set the AF mode (p.81) matching the subject. • For a moving subject When AI Servo AF is set, focusing will be continuous during continuous shooting.
Page 87: Using The Self-Timer
