cases.
• Objects that lack contrast, such as the sky, a wall that is only one
color, or the hood of a car
• Flat objects containing only horizontal lines
• Fast-moving objects
• Objects that are poorly lit
• Objects with bright reflections or backlighting
• Flickering objects, such as fluorescent lights

If the camera is unable to focus, lock focus on another object at
the same distance from the camera as your subject, then recom-
pose the photograph and take the picture.
