It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects.
• Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
• Scenes with a mixture of near and far subjects
• Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the
composition
• Subjects that are moving quickly
• Subjects through glass
• AF frames do not display in -" mode.
• When shooting with the focus lock using the LCD monitor,
setting [AF Frame] to [Center] (p. 92) makes shooting easier
since the camera focuses using the center AF frame only.
• Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the
chances of light reflecting back off the glass when you shoot
a subject through glass.
