Subjects/environments which may make focusing difficult:
•Fast-moving or extremely bright objects, or objects with no colour contrast.
•Taking pictures through glass or near objects emitting light.
•In the dark, or with significant jitter.
•When too close to object or when taking pictures of both distant and close objects together in
the same picture.

If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject, the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case, re-
adjust the focus.
