2. When you press the Shutter Release Button halfway, the AF monitor will light up. If the AF monitor blinks (When
the subject is closer than 0.8 m (2.6 ft.)), you should move back a little as your camera is too close to the subject. (Fig.

* The AF monitor may light steadily if the subject is 0.4 m or closer to the camera Releasing the shutter in this case
will result in an out-of-focus picture Therefore, let go of the Shutter Release Button and adjust your distance to make
sure the subject is at least 0.8 m away from the camera Then point at the subject once again and press the Shutter
Release Button.

* Please be careful not to accidentally cover the Distance Measuring Windows at the front of your camera as this will
cause the incorrect focusing.
* Please keep the Distance Measuring Windows clean so that focusing is accurate If they get dirty, clean with a dry
cloth.
* There may be rare cases where the subject cannot be well-focused. (For instance, dark subject that do not reflect
light well glossy subjects, or subject taken through glass.) In the cases, it is best to use the Pre-Focus technique to
"lock" the focus on a more "normal subject at the same distance While holding focus, turn your camera back to the
original subject and shoot. (See PRE-FOCUS SHOOTING for more details.)
