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.
