Shooting Problem Subjects for the Autofocus The autofocus may not work well on the following types of subjects. • Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings • Subjects mixing close and far objects • Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition • Subjects that are moving quickly To shoot these subjects, first aim the camera at an object at a similar distance, lock the focus and recompose the image with the desired subject, or use the manual focus. • When shooting through glass, get as close as possible to avoid reflections off the glass. Shooting with Focus Lock Focus Lock Method 1 1 Press the button to turn on the LCD monitor. 2 Aim the AF frame at an object at a similar distance to the subject you wish to shoot. 3 Press the shutter button halfway to lock the focus. • The AE setting will also lock when you do this. The exposure may occasionally be incorrect if the difference between the two items is too great. Use Method 2 or the AE lock procedure when this happens. 4 Keep it pressed while you recompose the image and press the shutter button all the way to shoot the image. 84 Shooting - Selecting Particular Effects
