Olympus IS-1 manual Subjects that are difficult to focus

Subjects that are difficult to focus

Although the IS-1 can focus on almost any

subject, there are certain conditions, such as those shown in the illustrations, where it may not be possible to obtain correct focus. In such cases, the autofocus indicator in the viewfinder will blink to warn you. When the autofocus indicator blinks,

try using the power focus (p. 47), or try using focus lock by focusing on a different subject at the same distance.

Please be careful in situations (4), (5) and (6), as the autofocus indicator in the viewfinder may light even though the lens is incorrectly focused.
