Lars.Erik Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Hey there, I haven't used this camera a lot. I used it today w/ a 0.7 wide angle converter. When i pressed the auto focus button I got a reading of infinity, even though the subject was 70 cm from me. He was standing w/ his back to a wall. So there's no way the camera could have picked up anything in the background that far away. When I turned the focus ring to the appropriate lenght, the subject was soft. I also noticed 2 yellow dots on the converter. Is this part of my problem? Need help. Please. Edited March 17, 2006 by Lars.Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Don't know about the yellow dots, but a wide angle convertor is a lens that will shift the focus range as it alters the field of view. So for instance, an object at 5 feet may read at 10 feet on the focus scale. This is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Reynoso Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 HI: In the manual of the Z1 advices that the readings in the telemeter of the camera will not display correctly when using a wide angle adaptor attached. The yellow dots, where in the glass of the lens or displayed in the VF? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
