Sometimes multiple AF points flash simultaneously.
This indicates that focus has been achieved at all those AF points. As long as
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 beeper is beeping, you
can press the shutter button completely to shoot a moving subject in focus.
Pressing the shutter button halfway will not focus the subject.
When the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (Manual Focus), the
camera does not focus. Set the focus mode switch to <AF>.

achieving focus may throw off the focus slightly.

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

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
