Remedy
Subjects difficult to focus on using
autofocus: objects with little con-
trast (blue sky, white walls, etc.),
dark objects, finely patterned
objects, fast-moving objects,
scenery through window or net,
etc. Lock focus on another object
located at same distance (press
shutter release button halfway),
then aim at target and press shut-
ter release button fully.
Position subject in AF frame
(focusing area) in middle of LCD
monitor. If the subject is outside
the focusing area, aim the camera
at the subject and lock focus
(press shutter release button
halfway), then compose picture
and press the shutter release but-
ton fully.
Set focus mode on
Normal pictures will be out of
focus if taken with focus mode set
on
.
Picture becomes dark if subject is
too far away. Take picture within
range of flash.
When taking a picture of a person
against dark background, such as
night scene, the person may
appear dark if the flash does not
reach background even with cor-
rect exposure. Set to
ensure both person and back-
ground are clear. (p.59)
