Problem Subjects for Autofocusing

The EOS D30 has a precision AF system that can focus on most subjects. However, it may not

be able to focus on subjects (in-focus indicator (•) blinks) in particular conditions such as the

following:

Difficult-to-Focus Subjects

Very low-contrast subjects, such as a blue sky or single-color wall

Subjects in very dark locations

Extremely backlit or reflective subjects, such as a shiny new car

Overlapping nearby and distant objects, such as cage bars and the animal inside the cage

In such cases, use one of the following procedures:

(1) Focus on an object that is at the same distance as the desired subject, apply Focus Lock,

then recompose the picture.

(2) Set the lens focus mode switch to MF (or M on older lenses), and focus manually.

Manual Focus

Set the lens focus mode switch to

(MF) (or (M) on older lenses).

. The (C5S) icon appears on the LCD panel.

•a

—1

Focus on the subject.

Turn the manual focusing ring on the lens

until the subject appears sharp in the

viewfinder.

If you press and hold the shutter button down halfway as you focus manually, you

will see the focusing point where the subject is focused, and the in-focus indicator

(•) will light.
