Using AF to Focus

Shooting conditions which can make focusing difficuit;

• Low-contrast subjects such as the blue sky and solid-color, flat

surfaces,

• Subjects in low light.

• Stripes and other patterns where there is contrast only in the

horizontal direction.

• Under a light source whose brightness, color, or pattern keeps

changing.

• Night scenes or points of light.
• Under fluorescent lighting or when the image flickers.
• Extremely small subjects.
• Subjects at the edge of the picture.
• Subjects strongly reflecting light.
• The AF point covers both a near and faraway subject (such as an

animal in a cage).

• Subjects which keep moving within the AF point and cannot keep

still due to camera shake or subject blur.

• A subject approaching or moving away from the camera.
• Autofocusing while the subject is way out of focus.
• Soft focus effect is applied with a soft focus lens.
• A special effects filter is used.
