Unlocking Sharpness: Mastering Focus Techniques with Your Rollei 35AF

Dear Friends of Rollei 35AF,

Getting your photos tack-sharp is a game-changer in photography! Let's dive into some simple tips to help you become a focus pro with your Rollei 35AF.

The specially designed autofocus function, powered by LIDAR technology, guarantees that your subjects are always in focus.

LIDAR uses laser beams to measure distances and map the surroundings. It works by sending out laser pulses and measuring how long they take to bounce back, helping identify distances and shapes. LIDAR technology is used to ensure that subjects are always in focus.

Essential Tips for Clear and Crisp Shots with Your Rollei 35AF

Focus Point:
That little focus point in the center of your viewfinder? It's your best friend! Keep your main subject right in the middle to lock in that perfect focus every time.

Do not use your finger to block the autofocus sensor. It will affect the emission and reflection of laser pulses.

Avoiding Distance Errors:
Here's a sneaky mistake to avoid: focusing on objects at different distances simultaneously. If you spot a bright spot split between objects at various depths, like one close and one far away, your camera might get confused. Make sure your subject is at the right distance for that crisp shot.

Common Errors and Notes:

• High-Reflectivity Objects: Shiny surfaces alert! When focusing on reflective surfaces like mirrors, glossy tiles, or serene liquids, proceed with caution. The reflections can mess with your focus. Tweak your focus until you capture that crystal-clear shot.
• Invisible Objects Trouble: Transparent objects, such as glass or water, can be focus foes! Your Rollei 35AF might struggle to get a clear lock. Focus on something solid behind the see-through object, or switch to manual focus for that picture-perfect shot.

Half-Press:
Press slightly down to trigger the autofocus, which will lock-in on the subject at the center spot of the frame. Holding the half-press will keep the focus distance locked, allowing you to reframe the shot. The focus lock will be released once the half-press is released.

The green indicator lights will also turn on while half-pressing the shutter button, indicating whether the focus or the flash is ready to capture the shot.
