Subjects not suitable for autofocus

FinePix Z5fd uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:

Camera the Using

Very shiny subjects such Fast moving subjects 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

•Dark subjects

•Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color as the background)

•Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away

than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➝p.30).
