A
AF frame
When you press the Shutter button down halfway,
the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses
on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture (the indicator lamp
(green) changes from blinking to steady).
●
!
The image shown on the screen before you take the shot
may differ in its brightness, color, etc. from the image actually
recorded. If necessary, play back the recorded image to
check it (
➡
P.27).
●
!
For subjects with no clear contrast between dark and light,
the camera may not give a short double-beep when the AF
frame becomes smaller. However, the shot is still in focus.
●
!
If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “
{
”
appears on the screen, the camera cannot focus.
●
!
When you press the Shutter button down halfway, the image
on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not
the recorded image.
●
!
If “
{
” is displayed on the screen, try standing about 2 m
(6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.
Frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF
(Auto Focus) frame.
●
!
If the subject is not in the AF frame, use AF/AE lock to take
the picture (
➡
P.24).
If you press the Shutter button down fully without
releasing it, the camera makes a clicking noise and
takes the picture. The camera then records the
photographed image.
●
!
There is a slight delay between the Shutter button being
pressed and the shot being taken. If necessary, playback the
shot to check the image.
●
!
If you press the Shutter button down fully in one motion, the
shot is taken without the AF frame changing.
●
!
When you take the shot, the indicator lamp lights orange
(shooting disabled). The indicator lamp then changes to
green to indicate that the next picture can be taken.
●
!
The indicator lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging.
The monitor may go dark briefly. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
●
!
See P.101-102 for information on the warning displays.
TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)
STILL PHOTOGRAPHY MODE
◆
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
◆
Though the FinePix S5000 uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or
not be able to focus at all on the types of subjects and situations listed below. In such cases, the image
may be out of focus.
h
Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body.
h
Subjects photographed through glass.
h
Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or
fur.
h
Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or
flames.
h
When the subject is dark.
h
When there is very little contrast between the
subject and the background (such as white
walls or subjects dressed in the same color as
the background).
h
Subjects moving at high speed.
h
When there is a high-contrast subject other than
the main subject at or near the center of the
image and that subject is closer to or further
from the camera than the main subject (as when
you photograph someone against a background
with strongly contrasting elements).
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock (
➡
P.24).

Standard number of frames per
xD-Picture Card
The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new
xD-Picture Card
formatted on the camera. The
larger the
xD-Picture Card
capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available
frames may not decrease or may decrease by 2 when a frame is taken. Consequently, the actual number of available frames
may be more or less than what is displayed.
