Camera autofocus misses subject in variable lighting conditions

Professional photographers shooting events or challenging outdoor conditions experience missed focus shots because autofocus systems struggle with backlit subjects, fast movement, or rapidly changing light. While autofocus has improved, it remains unreliable enough that professionals must shoot bursts, review, and delete—wasting storage and workflow time.
