_ hooting Hard-to-Focus Subjects (Focu_
Lock, Manual Focus, Safety MF)
:v'_llm,"lt'_l_.'l=_'_tnl'nlLv_r_r_Ll_ p. 206
It may be difficult to focus on the following types of subjects.
Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
Scenes with a mixture of near and far subjects
Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the
composition
Subjects that are moving quickly
Subjects through glass
Shooting with the Focus Lock
Aim the camera so that an object at the same
focal distance as the main subject is centered
in the viewfinder or in the AF frame displayed
on the LCD monitor.
Keep the shutter button pressed halfway while
you recompose the image.
Press the shutter button fully to shoot the
image.
When shooting with the focus lock using the LCD monitor,
setting [AF Frame] to [Center] (p. 92) makes shooting easier
since the camera focuses using the center AF frame only.
Try to shoot as close to the glass as possible to reduce the
chances of light reflecting back off the glass when you shoot
a subject through glass.
