Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator is displayed in green: • Subject is very dark • Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the shooting conditions (e.g. the sun behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark) • No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall) • Point sources of light such as illuminations and night views, or subjects in which brightness changes such as neon lights • Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage) • Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.) • Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A58). 57 Shooting Features Focusing
