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:
(1) When the subject has strong reflections, such as polished-metals, exterior of
cars,
bodies of water, or mirrors.
(2) Subjects with little or no reflectance, such as black objects, hair, a flame or
smoke.
(3) Subjects that are very small.
(4) Subjects with an object in front of them, such as a wire net or a cage.
In situations (1)—(4), prefocus on another subject approximately the same
distance away and then recompose the scene and take the picture. (See
Section 3 on Prefocusing.)
(5) Taking pictures through glass windows:
Shoot with camera lens near the glass and at an angle of approximately 20°.
