and dark, then press the shutter button halfway. (p.162) If you are

the AF point covering the desired subject flashes, you can take the picture.
The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus confirmation
light <o> also does not light.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving
subject. (The focus confirmation light <o> does not light.) While the

trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes. This is called AF-
assist beam. It is effective up to approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet away.
Although flash was used, the picture came out dark.
The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5
meters/16.4 feet from the camera.
When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out
unnaturally dark.
The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created
by the lens. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away
from the camera. If a hood has been attached to the lens, remove it
before taking the flash picture.
