Locking the Focus (AF Lock)
It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects. Use the
focus lock in these situations.
• Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
• Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the
composition
• Subjects that are moving quickly
• Subjects through glass
Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the chances
of light reflecting back off the glass.
