MANUAL FOCUSING
HARD-TO-AUTOFOCUS SUBJECTS
The autofocus system is highly precise, but not perfect. Depending on the brightness, contrast, shape, and size of your subject, the autofocus system may not operate. In such
a case, set the focus mode switch to and use the manual focus mode to focus the lens on the subject with the aid of the matte field in the viewfinder (see page xx). Subjects, which may fool the autofocus system, include:
a)Extremely
autofocus frame .
b)Subjects which don't reflect much light in the autofocus
frame .
c)Subjects that are moving too fast.
d)Multiple subjects in the foreground and background of the
autofocus frame .
e)Subjects positioned against reflected light or strong backlight or with extremely bright backgrounds.
