■ About Auto Focus
• Proper focus may be difficult or even impossible when
shooting the following types of subjects.
— Solid color walls or subjects with little contrast
— Strongly backlit subjects
— Very shiny objects
— Venetian blinds or other horizontally repeating patterns
— Multiple subjects that are varying distances from the
camera
— Subjects in poorly lit areas
— Moving subjects
— Subjects outside the shooting range of the camera
• Proper focus may also be difficult or impossible if the
camera is moving.
• Note that a green operation lamp and focus frame do not
necessarily guarantee that the resulting image will be in
focus.
• If Auto Focus does not produce the results you want for
some reason, try using focus lock (page 81) or manual
focus (page 80).
• Bright light shining on the lens can cause images to
appear “washed out”. This tends to happen when
recording images outdoors in bright sunlight. To protect
against this, use your free hand to shade the lens from
the light.
