The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level
of contrast is one of the criteria used to determine the subject. The camera

with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the
simplest solution is to use the focus lock.
1
Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus on.
•
When shooting a hard-to-focus or fast-
moving subject, focus the camera on an
object about the same distance away as
the subject.
