    Solution

      AF (Auto Focus) can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light blinks) on certain subjects such as the following:

      • Low-contrast subjects. (ex. blue sky, solid-color walls)
      • Subjects in low light.
      • Extremely backlit reflective subjects. (ex. car with a reflective body)
      • Overlapping near and far objects. (ex. animal in a cage)

      In such cases, do either of the following:
      • Focus on an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing.
      • Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.
