• If the camera had difficulty focusing on the subject
because of low contrast, try using focus lock (see Using
Focus Lock on page 41).
• If the subject is too close (less than 50 cm or 20 in), either
move farther away from the subject you are trying to
photograph, or set the camera to the Macro focus
range (see Using the Focus Range Settings on page 42).
If the camera is set to the Macro focus range and the
camera cannot focus, the Live View screen displays an error
message and the focus brackets turn red. In these cases, the
camera will not take the picture.
If the subject for the picture is not within the Macro range (20
to 50 cm or 8 to 20 in), either move the camera within the
macro range or set the camera to a focus range other than
Macro (see Using the Focus Range Settings on page 42).
When you press the Shutter button, the camera also
measures the light level to set the proper exposure. If the
camera determines there is not enough light and the camera
will require a very long exposure, the icon of a shaking hand
appears in the Live View screen, indicating that the
picture might be blurry. If the icon appears, try one of the
following:
• Try setting the flash to Auto or Flash on (see Setting the
Flash on page 47) to increase the lighting.
• Try turning on more light, if that is possible.
• If none of these solutions are possible, you can still take
the picture, but you should set the camera on a tripod or
stable surface; otherwise, the picture will likely be blurry.
he camera shows the F-number and shutter speed it will
be using when you press the Shutter button halfway
down. The F-number and shutter speed will turn red if they
are out of range for the picture being taken.
