There are a few conditions when the camera’s autofocus system may not function accurately. At these times, you should use
the “Auto-Focus Lock” settings (→p.26) or the “Landscape Mode” setting (→p.37). Conditions requiring these settings include:
• A bright light source within the picture such as the sun near your subject, a strong light reflection such as from water or from the windshield of a car;
• A mirror or other strongly reflective surface near the center of the picture;
• Shooting black light-absorbing subjects such as hair;
• Presence of flames, smoke or gaseous substances;
• Photographing through glass.
