Olympus ACCURA VIEW Zoom 90 Instructions Manual Download Page 60

Page: 60 / 71

The autofocus didn't work

correctly. There are some
subjects that are difficult for

the autofocus to lock on.
These include: glossy or

reflective surfaces, black

objects, subjects behind

glass or wire mesh, flames
and smoke, excessively
bright light within the picture

area.

First focus on an object at

the same distance as the

desired subject. Then aim at

the desired subject and press
the shutter release button.
