Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difﬁcult to get your subject in focus when:

-There is little contrast between the subject and background.

(For example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the background.)

-The light source behind the subject is too bright.

-The subject is shiny.

-The subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds.

-The subject is not positioned in the center of the frame.

Use the focus lock

Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus, you can reposition the frame to change the composition. When you are ready, press [Shutter] to take your photo.

•When you take photos in low light

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 50)

•When subjects are moving fast

Use the continuous or motion capture function. (p. 64)
