Hello again,
I open this thread to ask HOW DO YOU MANAGE AF IN NON CONTRAST AREAS .
I bought PEN EP-5, and almost immediately I was found out, the AF system is not working in areas where there is no contrast. If I point my camera to sky, trying to catch some birds, there is no easy way for camera to recognize there should be focus INFINITY.
Or, If I do photos in dark stage, where I have smoke and stage reflectors, camera hardly gets into the right position of accurate focus. I must do some tricks there, and every time I shoot, I must point my AF spot to some clean, and enough contrast area, and with same distance as the subject of my photo.
Hard, complicate, and non practical. And sometimes also impossible .
Also, when I do panoramic, day or night pics, I just want to set my camera to infinity, like on my old compact Ricoh, but with continuously rotating AF ring without any stopping positions ( in MF mode ), there is again difficulty with spontaneous touching the lens ring, and possibilities of spoiling everything. / Yes, I know the trick with shutting camera and setting in menu for focus reseting to infinity /
How do you manage with that?
Is there any way to Olympus improve this through next firmwares ( is this even possible ? )
Describe your techniques here, with different lens, and everything else.
