Buttons used here
• Certain subjects are hard to bring into focus:
It may be impossible to bring the following kinds of subjects into focus.
• Subjects lacking contrast (the sky, a white wall, the hood of a car, etc.)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions
• Quickly moving objects
• Things in poorly lit places
• Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections
• Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights
When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance as your subject and then
shoot. (see p.32)
• When shooting in focus-poor conditions, it is recommended you use the Half-Press method.
