• AF/AE lock can be applied repeatedly before the shutter
is released.
• Use AF/AE lock in all Shooting modes to guarantee
excellent results.
• On FinePix J10 / FinePix J12, pressing the shutter
button down halfway locks the focus and exposure
settings (AF and AE lock).
Subjects not suitable for autofocus
FinePix J10 / FinePix J12 uses a high-precision autofocusing
mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the
following:
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
• Dark subjects
• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and
the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color
as the background)
• Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is
close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away
than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a
background with strongly contrasting elements)
For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➝p.29).
