Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus
◆
Though the FinePix4900 ZOOM uses an
accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have
difficulty focusing or not be able to focus at all
for the types of subject and situation listed
below. In such cases, the image may be out
of focus.
●Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car
body.
●Subjects photographed through glass.
●Subjects that do not reflect well, such as
hair or fur.
●Subjects with no substance, such as smoke
or flames.
●When the subject is distant and dark.
●When there is very little contrast between
the subject and the background (such as
white walls or subjects dressed in the same
color as the background).
●When there are objects in front of or behind
the subject (such as an animal in a cage or
a person in front of a tree).
●Subjects moving at high speed.
