Focusing
Situations where
Autofocus May Not Work
as Expected
Autofocus may not work as expected in the following situations. In these
situations, focus manually using the clear matte field (see
page 8-9
), or
focus on a different subject at the same distance, use focus lock, then
recompose.
Low-contrast scenes
For example, where the subject is wearing clothing the same color as a wall
or other background
Scenes with the subject within the focus brackets located at
different distances from the camera
For example, when shooting an animal in a cage or a person in a forest
Patterned subject or scene
For example, building windows
Scenes with pronounced differences in brightness within the focus
brackets
For example, when the sun is in the background and the main subject is in
shadow
