Subjects/environments which may
make focusing difficult:
• Fast-moving or extremely bright
objects, or objects with no colour
contrast.
• Taking pictures through glass or near
objects emitting light. In dark, or with
significant jitter.
• When too close to object or when
taking pictures of both distant and
close objects together in the same
picture.
We recommend using the ‘Face
detection’ function when taking pictures
of people.
