Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix A900/FinePix A825/FinePix A820/FinePix A610/
FinePix A800 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism.
However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:
Very shiny subjects such
as a mirror or car body
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
• Dark subjects
• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
• Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is
close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away
than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➝p.31).
