■ When Focusing is Difficult
You may experience difficulty focusing on the following subjects:
• Objects with little or no contrast (such as the sky, white walls, and car hoods)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions
or indentations
• Fast-moving targets
• Low-brightness objects (in dark places)
• Strongly backlit objects and objects struck by strong reflected light
• Flickering objects (such as fluorescent lights)
When shooting subjects like these, focus on another subject that is located at about
the same distance and then aim at the target with that focus setting.
See
“Focus Lock Shooting” (p.68).
