•The subject lacks contrast
•The subject in the focus point contains areas of sharply contrasting brightness, or the subject is lit by spot lighting or by a neon sign or other light source that changes in brightness
•Flicker or banding appears under fluorescent,
•A cross (star) filter or other special filter is used
•The subject appears smaller than the focus point
•The subject is dominated by regular geometric patterns (e.g., blinds or a row of windows in a skyscraper)
•The subject is moving
Note that the focus point may sometimes be displayed in green when the camera is unable to focus.
