Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the back-
ground and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark
or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g.,
the sun is behind your subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if there are
several objects at different distances from the camera at the center of the frame (e.g.,
your subject is inside a cage).

The AF-Assist Illuminator
If lighting is poor, the built-in AF assist illuminator will light
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing
the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. When
the camera is zoomed all the way out, the AF-assist illuminator
has a range of 0.4 – 2.0 m (1´4˝ – 6´7˝). The range at maximum
zoom is 0.4 –1.5 m (1´4˝ – 4´11˝). The AF-assist illuminator is
not available at scene mode settings of (Landscape),
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing
the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. When
the camera is zoomed all the way out, the AF-assist illuminator
has a range of 0.4 – 2.0 m (1´4˝ – 6´7˝). The range at maximum
zoom is 0.4 –1.5 m (1´4˝ – 4´11˝). The AF-assist illuminator is
not available at scene mode settings of (Landscape),
(Night landscape), (Museum), (Fireworks show), (Sports), and
(Dusk / Dawn)
(
26–29). When AF Area Mode is set to Manual (
79) or (Portrait), (Night
portrait), or
(Close up) is selected in scene mode (
25–28), the AF-assist illumina-
tor will only light when the center focus area is selected.
