Q.No.4163: It is sometimes difficult to achieve focus on the intended subject with autofocus.?
Ans : It is sometimes difficult to achieve proper focus when shooting with a wideangle or ultra-wideangle lens.
Additionally, proper focus is difficult to achieve and maintain when shooting in the situations listed below.

- Shooting subjects lacking clear definition between dark and light portions such as a white wall or similar object or a person wearing clothes similar in color to the background
- Shooting subjects which fill the focus area with objects at different distances from the camera such as an animal in a cage or a person standing in front of a tree
- Shooting subjects containing regular geometric patterns such as rows of windows in a skyscraper
- Shooting subjects which fill the focus area with objects under extremely varied lighting such as a person standing in the shade with the sun in the background

Under any of the circumstances described above, use manual focus (M mode) or focus lock to achieve proper focus.
