WhenAutofocusFails(Switching
to ManualFocus)1,.,1',1;,r1,:1
The camera has a high-precisionAF system which can focus almost all
subjects.However,it can fail to achievefocus (the in-focusindicatorblinks)
with the subjectslistedbelow.
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
(a) Low-contrastsubjects.
Example:Blue sky, solid colors on a flat surface,etc.
(b) Extremelybacklit or reflectivesubjects.
Example:Automobilewith a highly reflectivefinish.
(c) Overlappingnear and far objects.
Example:Animal behind bars in a cage.
In such cases,focus an object at the same distanceas the subjectand lock
the focus before recomposing.(See page 39) Or focus manuallyby
followingthe procedurebelow.
ManualFocusing
Set the lens focus mode switch to
MF (or M on older lenses).
'
Turn the lens focusing ring until

the subject is in focus in the
viewfinder.
The focusing point(s)which achieves focus lights in the viewfinder,and the

in-focusindicator(O) also lights.
MeteringModes
The camera has three meteringmodes: Evaluative,partial,and
centerweightedaveragingmetering.Evaluativemeteringis the standard
meteringmode. Partialmeteringis set automaticallywhen AE lock is used
(see page 51), and centerweightedaveragingmeteringis set automatically
in the <M> mode (see page 48).
Evaluative metering
This is suited for most picture-taking
situationsincludingbacklitconditions.
The subject'spositionand brightness,
the background,the existinglight,
backlightconditions,and the active
focusing points are taken into account
to obtaina suitableexposure.
Partial metering
The exposure setting is based on the
brightnessof an area 9.5% of the
viewfinderscreen at the center. lt is
effectivefor backlit subjects.
. The partialmeteringarea (shaded)is
approximatedby the diagramon the

anywherefrom 1 .0 to 91 , dependingon
the lens attachedto the camera.
ISO film speed

The ISO film speed indicatesthe film's sensitivityto light.The higherthe
film speed,the more sensitivethe film is. Therefore,ISO 400 and higherspeed films are suitedfor low-lightconditions.The ISO film speed is set in
accordancewith standardsset by the InternationalOrganizationfor
Standardization(lSO).
A film speed from 6 to 6400 can be set with the camera. The film speed is
displayedon the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.

Depth of field
This is the range where acceptablefocus can be achieved in front of and
behindthe point of optimumfocus. The smallerthe aperture(the largerthe
f-number),the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperture (the
smallerthe f-number),the shallowerthe depth of field.
The depth of field is affected as described below:
(1) A smalleraperture(a largerf-number)increasesthe depth of field.
... For example,f/8 obtains a greater depth of field than t14.5.
(2) A lens with a shorter focal length increasesthe depth of field.
... A wide-anglelens obtainsa deeper depth of field than a telephotolens
at the same shootingdistance.
(3) A longer distance between the camera and subject increasesthe depth
of field.
(4) Generally,the depth of field behind the point of optimum focus is longer
than the depth of field in front of the point of optimum focus.
