V. A WORD ON THE CAMERA'S AUTOFOCUS
SYSTEM
Ш Principle
Your camera's autofocus system uses an active type
method (trigonometrical distance measurement with infra-
red rays) and a passive type method (detection of phase
difference) for precise focusing.
While the passive type method takes care of distant ob-
jects that cannot be reached by infrared rays, the active
type method takes care of low-contrast objects (at near
distances)
that are not suited for the passive
type
autofocusing method, thereby increasing the reliability of
the autofocus system to improve the focusing accuracy.
Ш Objects that are not suited for autofocusing
In the following cases, the Lens may not be able to focus
