Olympus C-2500L - Manual (Page 23)

Hard-to-(Auto)Focus Subjects
Although the autofocus can lock on virtually any subject, the Camedia C-2500L cannot bring the following subjects into focus.
In such cases, the green lamp inside the viewfinder blinks and the shutter release button is disabled. In some cases, the shut-
ter release button will respond to touch, but the image will be out-of-focus. In these situations, use either the quick-focus fea-
ture or take the picture as explained under each example.
Subjects of low contrast
First lock focus (P. 18) on something of recognizable contrast which is
the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to photo-
graph, and then point the camera at the subject and take your picture.
Subjects immersed in very bright light
First lock focus (P. 18) on an object with recognizable contrast which is
in the same distance from the camera as the subject you want to photo-
graph, and then point the camera at the subject and take your picture.
Subjects without vertical lines
Hold the camera vertically and lock the focus, and then set it horizontal
to take a picture.
Two subjects at different distances from the camera
If the subjects you want to photograph appear out-of-focus, lock focus
on something the same distance from the camera as the subjects you
want to photograph, and then point the camera at the subjects and take
your picture.
Fast-moving objects
Before taking the picture, lock on something the same distance from
the camera as the subject you want to photograph, and then point the
camera at the subject and take your picture.
