Shooting

Caution

• Focusing may be difficult under these conditions:

  • Subjects with low contrast, such as a blue sky or flat surfaces in solid colors, or other cases when highlight or shadow details are clipped
  • Subjects in low light
  • Stripes or other patterns that only have horizontal contrast
  • Subjects with repetitive patterns (such as building windows or computer keyboards)
  • Fine lines and subject outlines
  • Under light sources with constantly changing brightness, colors, or patterns
  • Night scenes or points of light
  • Scenes with flickering, under fluorescent or LED lighting
  • Extremely small subjects
  • Subjects at the edge of the screen
  • Strongly backlit or reflective subjects (such as cars with highly reflective surfaces)
  • Near and distant subjects in AF points (such as animals in a cage)
  • Subjects that constantly move due to camera shake or subject blur
  • AF operations while subjects are quite out of focus
