Wait a second, I don't think this will work. The camera has no shutter control OR focus!! In either language! ;)JJ Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441491523631181071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252745236981860634.post-34160037163157973012013-02-16T18:16:31.636-08:002013-02-16T18:16:31.636-08:00Il y a une 4ème méthode pour obtenir de la netteté...Il y a une 4ème méthode pour obtenir de la netteté : c'est d'accepter un cercle de confusion plus grand. Pour du 135 on considère 0,030, mais personne n'interdit de prendre 0,050 ou 0,070mm.<br />Avec 35/4 et 0,070, à 3,5 mètres on a une zone de netteté de 1.95 m à 16.8 m, selon le calculateur.HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590792945705351159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252745236981860634.post-71328339406506848072011-04-21T09:31:40.560-07:002011-04-21T09:31:40.560-07:00Hi Chris.

The 5-feet to infinity range is at the smallest aperture.<br /><br />I've fiddled with the camera some more. The best application is to use it on sunny days (like the beach) with the flash on. This is what I do for my Beach Series with my other P&S cameras. Results can be excellent. Or so I hope. Keep the principal subject under 14 feet though!JJ Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441491523631181071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252745236981860634.post-89453955656781560792011-04-19T19:33:37.127-07:002011-04-19T19:33:37.127-07:00I can confirm the focus issues of this camera.

It's not good at all for lower light - especially landscapes for precisely the issue you mentioned. Sunset shots were terribly blurry. There is also the problem of the shutter button which requires a fair amount of pressure to trigger. I suspect this pressure caused some camera motion when the shutter is finally released. Then again, I also used 100 speed film. I'm thinking 400 is a safer bet, though I haven't tried that combo yet.Chris Nollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469553235676266767noreply@blogger.com
