Autofocus in low-light!

Datum: 21.01.2002 Uhrzeit: 21:12:19 Michael S. nach der sehr umfangreichen diskussion vor einiger zeit…heute dieses review auf der bekannten website von www.dpreview.com gelesen: In complete darkness Wide angle: 3 out of 5 shots were in focus Telephoto: 1 out of 5 shots were in focus In 3 EV of light (20 Lux / 1.9 foot-candle) Wide angle: 3 out of 5 were in focus Telephoto: 3 out of 5 were in focus In 5 EV of light (80 Lux / 7.4 foot-candle) Wide angle: 5 out of 5 were in focus Telephoto: 5 out of 5 were in focus Light intensity (Lux) = 2.5 x 2^EV (@ ISO 100), 10.76391 Lux = 1 foot-candle (fc) As you can see the E-20’s AF system proved to be unreliable in low light and better as light levels increased, what’s a little more worrying is the fact that the camera was ‚convinced‘ it had a good focus lock, examining the images later it was clear that it had not. mfg, Michael S. — posted via https://oly-e.de ——————————————————————————————————————————————
