on the Mode Dial for best results and how to play back 
images.
With Basic Zone modes, all you do is point  and shoot while the 
camera sets everything automatically
 (p.89, 354). Also, to 
prevent botched pictures due to mistaken operations, 
advanced shooting function  settings cannot be changed.

The beeper continues to beep softly. (The focus indicator < o> 
does not light up.)
It indicates that the camera is focusing continuously on a moving 
subject. (The focus indicator < o> does not light up.) You can take 
sharp pictures of a moving subject.
Note that the focus lock (p.69)  will not work in this case.
 Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the 
subject.
If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to < MF> (manual focus), 
set it to < AF> (autofocus).
 The flash fired even though it was daylight.
For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s 
dark areas. If you do not want the flas h to fire, use the Quick Control 
to set [Flash firing ] to [b] (p.88) or set the  (Flash Off) mode 
and shoot (p.71).
 The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.
Move further from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash 
photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture 
may come out extremely bright (overexposure).
 In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes.
Pressing the shutter button halfway  may trigger the built-in flash to 
fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AF-
assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet. The 
built-in flash will make a sound w hen firing continuously. This is 
normal and not a malfunction.
 When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out 
unnaturally dark.
The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because 
the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the 
subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before 
taking the flash picture.

In the  mode, pressing the shutter button halfway to focus on a 
still subject will lock the focus on  that subject. Recompose the shot 
while keeping the shutter button pressed halfway, and then press the 
shutter button completely to take the picture. This is called “focus lock”. 
Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except < 5> 
< C >).
In the < A> mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes) 
while or after you focus, AI Servo AF will take effect to focus on the 
subject continuously. (The beeper will  continue beeping softly.) As long 
as you keep the Area AF frame  positioned over the subject while 
pressing the shutter button halfway , the focusing will be continuous. 
When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.
