Sanyo VPC-J1EX Digital Camera User Manual


 
Using the Autofocus
The autofocus will work in almost all situations; however, there are certain
conditions that may cause the autofocus function to not work properly. If the
autofocus function is not working properly, set the focus range or the focus
area to capture images (see page 103).
B Conditions that may cause incorrect focus
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus
function may not work.
œ Subjects with low contrast, very
bright subjects at the center of the
image, or dark subjects or locations
Use the focus-lock function (see page
42) to lock the focus on an object with
contrast at the same distance as the
desired subject.
œ Subjects without vertical lines
Use the focus-lock function to lock the
focus on the subject while holding the
digital camera vertically.
The following examples are some of the situations where the autofocus
function may work, but not as desired.
œ When both near and far objects are
present
Use the focus-lock function to lock the
focus on an object at the same distance
as the desired subject, then reposition
the camera to compose the picture.
