SPECIAL FOCUSING SITUATIONS

Some scenes or subjects, like the examples below, are difficult for the
autofocus system to lock on to. In these shooting situations, focus hold (p.
28) on another object with the same brightness and the same distance
from you as your main subject, recompose, then press the shutter-release
button all-the-way down to take the picture.
• Bright light sources such as the sun or neon lights
• Highly reflective surfaces such as water, mirrors,
etc.
• Flame, fireworks, etc.
• Dark objects and surfaces with
low reflectance
• Objects behind glass, bars, or other such as partitions
