Subjects that are difficult to focus on
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly. If this
happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), recompose your shot and then take the picture.
If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the
camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway,
then return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button
half-pressed and take the picture.
Quick Focus is canceled when the lens barrier is closed. “Saving the
