Focus Lock

Autofocus

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 36) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.

• Fast-moving subjects.

•Subjects photographed through a window or other refl ective object.

•Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than refl ect light, such as hair or fur.

•Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or fl ame.

•Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).

•Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).
