Notes on using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses In the following situations, autofocus may not work properly when taking pictures using wide or super-wide angle AF Nikkor lenses. 1. When the main subject in the focus brackets is relatively small. As shown in Fig. A (p. 52), when a person standing in front of a distant background is placed within the focus brackets, the background may be in focus, while the subject is out of focus. 2. When the main subject is a small, patterned subject or scene. As shown in Fig. B (p. 52), when the subject is highly patterned or of low contrast, such as a field covered with flowers, autofocus may be difficult to obtain. In such situations: (1) Focus on a different subject located at the same distance from the camera, then use the focus lock, recompose, and shoot. (2) Or set the camera's focus mode selector to M (manual) and focus manually on the subject. • Also, refer to "Getting Good Results with Autofocus" in your camera's instruction manual. 53
