HP R967 manual Optimizing focus, For the Normal Focus range, For the Macro focus range

If the camera is set to Try one of the following:

When you press the Shutter button halfway down, the camera focuses from the closest distance, then examines other focus regions, displaying those in focus as green brackets. The sample image shows focus in regions one, two, and five.

If the camera keeps focusing on something other than your subject, set Auto Focus Area to Spot (see Auto Focus Area under Using the Capture Menu

on page 23), then use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock on page 16).

Optimizing focus

When the camera cannot auto focus, the focus brackets turn red. This indicates the picture may be out of focus because the subject is out of the focus range or the scene has low contrast.

For the Normal Focus range

If the camera is set to Normal Focus (see Using the focus range settings

on page 17) and cannot focus, it will still take the picture. Try releasing the Shutter button, reframing, and then pressing the Shutter button halfway down again. If the focus brackets are still red:

●If the scene has low contrast, use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock

on page 16) and aim at a point on the subject that has more colors or crisp edges.

●If the subject is too close (less than 500 mm or 20 in), move farther away from the

subject or use the Macro or Auto Macro focus range (see Using the focus range settings on page 17).

●Use Manual Focus (see Using Manual Focus on page 17).

For the Macro focus range

Macro and cannot focus, the camera will not take the picture.

●Move within the Macro range or set the camera to Auto Macro or Normal Focus (see Using the focus range settings on page 17).

●In low contrast scenes, use Focus Lock (see Using Focus Lock on page 16).

●Use Manual Focus (see Using Manual Focus on page 17).
