changing.
® Night scenes or points of light.
® Under fluorescent lighting or when the image flickers.
® Extremely small subjects.
® Subjects strongly reflecting light.
® When both near and far subjects are covenng the AF points, such as
an animal in a cage.
® Subjects which keep moving within the AF point and cannot keep
still due to camera shake or subject blur.
