Number of Available Shots
■ Standard number of shots per SmartMedia
Because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available shots may not
decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. Also, the discrepancy between the actual number of
shots and the standard number of shots tends to be larger when there is more space remaining on the SmartMedia.
The number of available shots appears on the
LCD monitor.

Camera Operation
h Subjects moving at high speed.
h When something other than your subject is close to the
AF frame, has contrasting areas of light and dark and
is either closer or further away than your subject (as
when you photograph someone against a background
with strongly contrasting elements)
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock (
➡P.30).
Though the FinePix50i uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or not be able to
focus at all for the types of subject and situation listed below. In such cases, the image may be out of focus.
