Taking Photographs—Focus

Getting Good Results with Autofocus

Autofocus does not perform well under the conditions listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use manual focus ( 85) or use focus lock ( 82) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

AF-Assist Illuminators

If the subject is dark, an optional Speedlight with an AF-assist illuminator can be used to assist the autofocus.
