AF NIKKOR lenses.
1.

brackets is relatively small
When a person standing in front of a distant
background is positioned within the focus brackets,
as shown in Fig. D, the background may be in focus,
while the subject is out of focus.
2.
When the main subject is a finely
patterned subject or scene
When the subject is finely patterned or of low
contrast, such as a field filled with flowers, as shown
in Fig. E, focus may be difficult to acquire using
autofocus.
Responses to these types of situations

Focus on a different subject located at the same
distance from the camera, apply focus lock,
recompose, and shoot.
