32 HP Photosmart M305/M307 User’s Manual
When you have the camera set to any of the shooting modes
other than
Macro (see Using the Shooting Modes on
page 38), the camera will attempt to auto focus still pictures
using the normal focus range of 0.5 m (20 in) to infinity.
However, when the camera cannot focus in these shooting
modes, one of the following will occur:
z
The AF viewfinder light will blink green and the focus
brackets in Live View will turn red. The camera will still take
the picture, but the picture may be out of focus. To focus the
picture, release the
Shutter button, re-frame the subject for
your picture, and then press the Shutter button halfway
down again.
If the
AF viewfinder light continues to blink green and the
focus brackets continue to turn red after several tries, there
may not be enough contrast or light in the focus region. Try
using a technique called Focus Lock to focus on an object
about the same distance away but in a higher-contrast
region, and then, without releasing the Shutter button, point
the camera at the subject you were originally trying to
photograph (see Using Focus Lock on page 34). You can
also simply turn on more light, if that is possible.
