Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and
background and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the sub-
ject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing
brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subjects and their fea-
tures are in deep shadow), or if the subject contains objects at different dis-
tances from the camera (e.g., the subject is inside a cage).
