The lens may make a noise when the camera fo-
cuses; this is normal. In

mode, the cam-

drain on the batteries.
If the camera is able to focus
, it will beep twice
and the indicator lamp will glow green.
If the camera is unable to focus
, the focus frame
will turn red,
s
will be displayed, and the
indicator lamp will blink green. Change the
composition or use focus lock (

Smoothly press the shutter button
the rest of the way down to take
