evolt 300 focusing

by Fr. Alexis Feb 15, 2006 7:10AM PST

I just purchased the evolt 300. I really like it, but I have a problem I can't find an answer to. I find that I can't focus. I have the 14-45 lens. When I turn the focus ring nothing happens. I get good photos, but I can't see the focus acting before I take the picture. It must be something I can't find in the manual. What settings should I look for to enable a preview focusing? Thanks!

Manual Focus

by snapshot2 Forum moderator Feb 15, 2006 10:37PM PST

Some lenses will let you override autofocus when you turn the manual focus ring. Some will not.

Take a good look at your lens and see if it has a switch of some type to select autofocus and manual focus.
