Using auto focus

The circle in the viewfinder and the two brackets in the middle

of the

Live View

screen show the focus region for the picture

you are taking. (See

Using the viewfinder

on page 28 and

Using live view

on page 29.) When you press the

Shutter

button halfway down, the camera uses this focus region to

automatically measure and then lock the focus.
The

AF

viewfinder light turns on solid green and the focus

brackets in the

Live View

screen turn green when the image is

in focus and the camera can lock the focus. However, the

AF

viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets in

Live

View

turn red when the camera is unable to focus.

If the viewfinder light blinks and the focus brackets turn red,

release the

Shutter

button, re-frame the subject for your picture,

and then press the

Shutter

button halfway down again. If the

viewfinder light continues to blink and the focus brackets

continue to turn red after several tries, the lighting may be too

low, or there may not be enough contrast in the focus region.

Try using

Focus Lock

(see the next section).

NOTE

When set to

Macro

Exposure Mode

, the camera will

not take a picture if it cannot find focus.
