cases, use the focus lock shooting feature (page 69) or manual focus

(page 71).

• Two subjects at different distances overlapping in the AF area.

• A subject that is composed of repeating patterns, such as the facade of a

building.

• A subject that is very bright or glittering, such as the sun, the body of an

automobile, or the surface of water.

focus cannot be confirmed. Make sure you put enough distance between the subject
