o Auto-focus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the back-
ground and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject isvery dark
=r or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g.,
the sun is behind your subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if there are
o.. several objects at different distances from the camera at the center of the frame (e.g.,
your subject is inside a cage).

_- _ When Lighting Is Poor
If lighting is poor and the flash is off, a _ icon will be dis-
played to warn that pictures may be blurred as a result of the
slow shutter speeds, if an ISO icon isdisplayed, sensitivity has
been raised to compensate for poor lighting and pictures may
be affected by "noise" in the form of randomly-spaced,
brightly-colored dots. The camera may process pictures to
reduce noise, doubling recording times.
If the warning at right is displayed after a picture is taken, the Q
picture may be blurred. Select No to exit without recording _PICTUREISBLURRED.
