Special focusing situations
The following subjects may be too diffi-
cult to focus:

autofocus frame marks
• Dark subjects with no reflection
• Glossy light-reflecting
surfaces,
such
as shi ny cars or
water
• Subjects without solid content (i.e.,
candle flame, fireworks
, etc.)
• Secondary subjects are closer to the
camera than the main subject.
In the above cases, use focus lock by
focusing on another subject equidistant
from the camera and follow the proce-
dure in this
section.
