Is anyone having trouble with pictures being out of focus in both auto and program?

The camera only has good quality auto focus when in the fully automatic mode. When using other programs the auto focus mode is not a top priority feature for the software. The auto focus takes a while to adjust the more you use the zoom feature. I love the camera. I own several high end Nikon SLR's but have more fun with this unit. There are several good books available from Amazon which are excellent on explaining the many features of the camera.

I have had great results on auto and sport as I am mainly photographing birds. A hint you will loose focus if you zoom in to close, also when you make your first click wait for the green border to make sure your in focus with the right object. I am totally satisfied with the great results and clarity I get...I am putting together my photos into a book. Hope this helps

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

Probably not autofocus at least not reliability. You lose 2 stops and the D-7000 probably can't focus above F5.6

Turn off TRU-COLOR. then you get a settings tab there you can turn off the annoying and useless autofocus and mess with other settings as well.

I assume you've tried auto focus at different legnths. If unsuccessful you definitely need to return the lens. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

No, it would be great if it had that option though. I haven't had any issues with the auto focus because the camera itself can easily be moved around.

Bad one. Should just work smoothly. You should not notice it - except having to focus manually. ;)

Hi, you can do both. When in auto, its only an auto/off mode, whereas in P mode, you can also set it to "always on" and "slow synchro". Slow synchro "keeps subjects and distant backgrounds brights".

Hi, yes there is one issue. Once it got freeze when i was focusing in low light. No controls were responding including on-off switch. I had to remove battery to restart the camera. I am waiting for Ricoh to announce this as a known issue and release firmware update soon. Thanks.

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

With mine I have to be ridiculously close to the subject, like maybe an inch away. Try putting your lens closer and closer to what you're photographing until it is in focus before trying auto focus.

I have found that if the object is about 12 inches in front of the camera,it is out of focus.

It just doesnt seem like any of my pictures are focused well and that includes ones taken on a tripod with IS turned off of course. I keep reading and trying everything to no avail. I may contact Olympus and see if something is wrong with the camera. I entered a question about my problems in a forum and the responses were so cruel that I wont ever go back to that forum. There is a review that says the E520 pics can be soft... does that mean out of focus too?

Try various settings/use a good tri-pod and take the photos at dusk when there is less contrast. worked for me on auto mode.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Haven't noticed that problem specifically, however, the shutter lag is horrendous on either alkaline or lithium and might be related as I leave the setting at auto flash most of the time.

I can only comment on it being autu focus. It focus nicely, automatically, very sharp pictures.

I had a problem with blurry images, too, so finally checked the owners manual (duh!) It mentions that if you press the shutter too hard, you actually cause the blurriness. I have lightened up my touch, and things have improved. I still love this camera.
