Shooting Problem Subjects for the Autofocus

The autofocus may not work well on the following types of subjects.

Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surround- ings

Subjects mixing close and far objects

Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition

Subjects that are moving quickly

To shoot these subjects, first aim the camera at an object at a similar distance, lock the focus and recompose the image with the desired subject, or use manual focus.
