If the focus brackets turn red and the Macro icon is blinking
on the active display, either the camera is set to Macro focus
but detects the focus is further away than the macro (close-up)
range, or the camera is set to Normal focus but detects the
focus is closer than the normal range. For more information on
the focus settings and their respective distance ranges, see
Using the focus settings on page 27.
NOTE When set to Macro focus, the camera will not take a
picture if it cannot find focus. However, when set to
Normal focus (the default), the camera will still take a
picture if it cannot find focus.
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 action will occur. You can also
use Focus Lock to help achieve focus in low lighting or low
contrast situations.
1 Frame the subject for your picture within the focus brackets
in the active display.
2 Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock the exposure
and focus.
3 Continue to hold the Shutter button halfway down while you
re-frame or adjust your subject for proper positioning.
4 Press the Shutter button all the way down to take the picture.
