If the focus brackets turn red and the
MACRO
icon
blinks
on the active display, 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

exposure.
