                                           difficulties to focus)

 

 

Check environmental conditions and the subject of focussing. The camera will have 

                             difficulties to focus in the following situations: 
 

 

-  

Light: Strong light, low light/dark areas and backlight conditions

 

 

-  

Moving subjects

 

 

-  

Small objects before a plain or solid background

 

 

-  

Blurry or unsharp subjects: filming throught wet glass or dirty objects

 

 

-  

Distance: filming two or more different subjects, some near and some far away

 

 

-  

Position in the image: subject positioned in the corners of the picture

 

 

-  

Faces: partly hidden faces, sideways filmed faces, diagonal or up side down

 

 

-  

When the camera itself moves, or when the iris is narrowed down

Note: 

  When you experience one or more of the above mentioned problems check also our
