Taking Photographs—Focus
Controlling How the Camera Focuses
73
The focus area
contains objects at
different distances
from the camera
An example would be a subject inside a
cage. Use focus lock ( 70) to focus on
another subject at the same distance, then
recompose the photo.
There is little or no
contrast between
the subject and
the background
An example would be a subject the same
color as the background. Use focus lock
( 70) to focus on another subject at the
same distance, then recompose the photo.
The focus area
contains areas of

An example would be a row of windows
in a skyscraper. Use manual focus ( 74).
