Hard-to-autofocus subjects
Like many other autofocus cameras,the cam-
era's autofocus system is highly precise, but
not perfect. Some subjects may not be fo-
cused as you wish. In such a case, use the
focus-lock technique on a subject near the
actual one and equidistant from the lens.
Subjects which may fool the system include:
