Subject is difficult to
focus on
Subjects are difficult to focus on using
autofocus: objects with little contrast (blue
sky, white walls, etc.), dark objects, finely
patterned objects, fast-moving objects,
scenery through window or net, etc. Lock
focus on another object located at same
distance (press shutter release button
halfway), then aim at target and press
shutter release button fully, or use Manual
Focus mode.
Subject is not in focusing
area
Position subject in focus frame (focusing
area) in middle of LCD monitor. If the
subject is outside the focusing area, aim
the camera at the subject and lock the
focus (press shutter release button
halfway), then compose picture and press
the shutter release button fully.

Macro)
Normal pictures will be out of focus if
taken with focus mode set on q (Macro)
or r (Super Macro).

discharge
Flash mode is set to Off Set to Auto or b. (p.70)
The Capture mode is set
to C or J in d mode,
Continuous Shooting or

Even though
you have put in
a new battery,
[Battery
depleted]
appears.
A long time has elapsed
since the batteries were
removed previously.
The “Battery depleted” error message
may appear when you turn on the power
after purchasing the camera or after
replacing the batteries if the batteries had
been removed for a long time. However,
this is not an error. Wait a short period and
then turn the power switch on again, the
power should come on normally. If this
happens, the date and time, recorded
pixels and other settings may have been
initialized, reset the various settings
according to the procedures in “Setting
the Shooting Functions” (p.68 to 83) and
“Camera Settings” (p.118 to 131).
