passive system multi-focus, the subject can be
focused even if it is out of the focusing frame a
little bit.(Page 178).
• If the mark" blinks when pressing the shutter
release button half-way down, the flash will fire.
• If ”1 - 0.5“ of focus display blinks, the shutter
release button can not be tripped because the
subject is too close to the camera.
Take your picture at a distance of 0.5m or more.
• If it is difficult to focus because the subject is dimly
lighted or its contrast is low, an infrared beam from
the AF-assist beam window is automatically
emitted on the subject to increase the accuracy of
the auto-focus system.
Effective range of AF assist beam is approx.
5m(16.5ft.)
• If subject can not be focused, ' ■ » - 5' and '1- 5'
blinks. Then, the shutter release button can not be
tripped,Use the focus-lock feature(Page 106) to
lock the camera's focus on another object located
at an equivalent distance from the camera as the
desired subject, then return the camera to the
original position and take the picture.
• When shutter speed blinks '1000' in the viewfinder,
the light conditions have exceeded the exposure
control range. This means it is over-exposed.
• When "LT " blinks, the light conditions have
exceeded the exposure control range. This means,
it is under-exposed.
