Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix A400 / FinePix A500 uses a high-precision
autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty
focusing on the following:
• 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.30).
Very shiny subjects such
as a mirror or car body
Fast moving subjects
