      Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (viewfinder’s focus indicator [ ] blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

      Subjects Difficult to Focus
      • Subjects with very low contrast
      (Example: Blue skies, solid-color flat surfaces, etc.)
      • Subjects in very low light
      • Strongly backlit or reflective subjects
      (Example: Cars with highly reflective bodies, etc.)
      • Near and distant subjects framed close to an AF point
      (Example: Animals in cages, etc.)
      • Subjects such as dots of light framed close to an AF point
      (Example: Night scenes, etc.)
      • Repetitive patterns
      (Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc.)

      In such cases, focus by doing either of the following:
      (1) With One-Shot AF, focus on an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus, then recompose the shot.
      (2) Set the lens’s focus mode switch to [MF] and focus manually.


      NOTE
      Depending on the subject, focus may be achieved by slightly recomposing the shot and performing AF operation again.
