Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations:
•
Subject is very dark
•
Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g., the sun
is behind the subject and is in deep shadow)
•
No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g., when the subject is
standing in front of a white wall, wearing a white shirt)
•
Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g., the subject is
inside a cage)
•
Subject is moving rapidly
• In the situation noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway
to
refocus several times, or use focus lock.
