If the camera cannot automatically focus, 
the crosshairs in the center of the LCD 
monitor turn red and the auto-focus lamp 
in the lower left of the viewfinder blinks in 
green.
• When the grid appears, the crosshairs do 
not appear in the middle of the LCD moni-
tor. With the auto focus lamp, check that 
the shot is in focus.
• There is another shooting method, which is 
to fully press the shutter once, without 
using the half-press method. Full-press 
shooting is good for capturing the moment. 
However, you cannot check that your shot 
is in focus while shooting. (see P.39)
• You can use the battery for a longer period 
of time by using the viewfinder and shoot-
ing in power-save mode (see P.118). In this 
mode, however, you cannot check the 
focus on the LCD monitor. Instead, 
observe the auto focus lamp (in the lower 
left of the viewfinder), which lights up in 
green when the shot is in focus. The range 
visible through the viewfinder and that 
being shot may deviate a little bit, depend-
ing on the shooting distance. To check the 
focusing or the shooting range accurately 
before shooting, please use the LCD moni-
tor.
If the subject is not centered on your compo-
sition, see P.40.
