equidistantfrom the actual one. The subjectswhich
are hard to autofocus are:
1. Black objects like hair, etc. which are hard to
ref lect light (inf rared).
2. Wire netting, latticework, iron exercise-bar,etc.
3. While pressingthe shutter button half-way, 3. Flickering light sourcessuch as neon signs,
