Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 37

several tries, there may not be enough contrast or light in the

focus region. Try using a technique called Focus Lock to

focus on an object about the same distance away but in a

higher-contrast region, and then, without releasing the

Shutter button, point the camera at the object you were

originally trying to photograph (see Using Focus Lock on

page 37). You can also simply turn on more light, if that is

possible.

! If the AF viewfinder light blinks green, the focus brackets

turn red, and the Macro icon blinks in the Live View

screen, one of the following is true:

• The camera is set to the Normal Focus range but detects

the focus is closer than the normal range.

• The camera is set to the Macro (close-up) focus range but

detects the focus is farther away than the macro range. In

this case, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot

find focus.

NOTE No focus brackets appear if the camera is set to

Manual Focus (see Using the Focus Range Settings on

page 38).

Using Focus Lock

Focus Lock allows you to focus on a subject that is not in the

center of the picture, or to capture action shots more quickly by

pre-focusing in the area where the action will occur. You can

also use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low light or low

contrast situations.

1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets.

2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and

exposure.
