The ProCam has a computerized sonar autofocus system which uses sound waves to measure accurately the distance to your subject and set the lens. Check that the AF switch on the control panel is set on the following:

Photographing a distant scene through glass

To avoid focusing on the glass and getting a flash reflection, turn off the autofocus and flash systems by sliding both switches up.The red field on the control panel (indicating controls are not on automatic) will then be visible at the base of the two switches.

When you turn off the autofocus system, the lens sets for distant scenes of 15 feet (4.6m) to infinity. To ensure a successful picture, be sure to:

take the picture from at least 15 feet (4.6m) away,

take the picture in daylight, hold the camera steady or mount

it on a tripod to avoid a blurry picture.
