Notes on using wide- or super wide-angle AF Nikkor lenses

In the following situations, autofocus may not perform as expected when shooting with wide- or

super wide-angle AF Nikkor lenses.

1. When the main subject in the focus

brackets is relatively small

When a person standing in front of a distant

background is positioned within the focus

brackets, as shown in Fig. E, the background

may be in focus, while the subject is out of

focus.

2. When the main subject is a finely

patterned subject or scene

When the subject is finely patterned or of

low contrast, such as a field filled with

flowers, as shown in Fig. F, focus may be

difficult to acquire using autofocus.

Responses to these types of

situations

(1) Focus on a different subject located at the

same distance from the camera, apply

focus lock, recompose, and shoot.

E A person standing in front of a

distant background

F A field filled with flowers
