The [ ! ] icon appears when the shutter button is pressed halfway

Content Id: 8201953400


Solution

The () icon appears along with a yellow [AF frame] when the ⋖Shutter Button⋗ is pressed halfway and the subject is not in focus.

One of the main reasons for the subject to be out of focus is that the distance between the camera and the subject may be too close.
