4. Special Auto Focus situations
The auto focus system will focus accurately on the majority of the subjects you wish to
photograph. However, there are a few situations where the auto focus mechanism may
not function properly. These are:
A) When the subject has strong reflections, such as polished metals, exterior of cars,
bodies of water, or mirrors.
B) Subjects with little or no reflection, such as black objects, hair, a flame or smoke.
C) Subjects that are very small.
D) Subjects with an object in front of them, such as a wire net or a cage.
In situations A) — D), prefocus on another subject approximately the same distance
away and then recompose the scene and take the picture. (See Section 3 on Focus-lock).
E) Taking pictures through glass windows:
Shoot with camera lens nearer the glass and at an angle of approximately 20°.
