Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difficult to get your subject in focus when:

-- there is little contrast between the subject and background (for example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the background)

-- the light source behind the subject is too bright -- the subject is shiny or reflective

-- the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds -- the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the focus lock
