 • When you take a picture in a dark location, [   ] is displayed for the focus display

be activated. When focus is achieved, the focus indication [   ] and AF areas in 
focus are displayed. (Starlight AF cannot perform detection on the edges of the 
screen.)
Subjects/environments which may make focusing difficult:
 • Fast-moving or extremely bright objects, or objects with no colour contrast.
 • Taking pictures through glass or near objects emitting light.
 • In the dark, or with significant jitter.
 • When too close to object or when taking pictures of both distant and close objects together in 
the same picture.

When the lighting is low making it difficult to focus with Auto Focus, set [Monitor Display Speed] or 
[LVF Display Speed] to [60fps].
 ●
Starlight AF will not function when using the monitor with [Monitor Display Speed] set to [ECO 
30fps] or when using the viewfinder with [LVF Display Speed] set to [ECO 30fps].
