Focus.
Press the shutter-release button half-
way to focus. If the subject is poorly lit,
the AF-assist illuminator (

0 2) may

light to assist the focus operation.

If the camera is able to focus

, the selected

focus area will be highlighted in green
and a beep will sound (a beep may not
sound if the subject is moving).

If the camera is unable to focus

, the focus

area will be displayed in red. See page
139.

While the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the display will show the number of expo-
sures that can be stored in the memory buffer (“r”;

0 27).

Position your subject in the center of
the frame.

A

Face-Priority AF

The camera detects and focuses on por-
trait subjects (face-priority AF). A double
yellow border will be displayed if a por-
trait subject is detected facing the camera
(if multiple faces, up to a maximum of
five, are detected, the camera will select
the closest subject). Press the shutter-
release button halfway to focus on the subject in the double yellow
border. The border will clear from the display if the camera can no
longer detect the subject (because, for example, the subject has
looked away).
