Autofocus performs best when:
• There is contrast between the subject and the background. For example, autofocus may not per-
form well on subjects that are the same color as the background.
• The subject is evenly lit.
Autofocus does not perform well when:
• The focus area contains objects at different distances from the camera. For example, autofocus may
not perform well when photographing an object inside a cage, as the bars of the cage will be closer
to the camera than the main subject.
• The subject is very dark (the subject should not, however, be too much brighter than the back-
ground).
• The subject is moving rapidly.
If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (
29) to focus on another subject at
the same distance, or measure the distance to your subject and use manual focus (
66).
