Subject: First attempt with auto focus
Anyway, does this mean that the actual aperture of the lens is a bit wider than 1.8, or that the way the software in the camera is set it just reads out an aperture that's closest to whatever it's programmed for, or what? Will other aperture settings be a little off as well?
It probably can't display 1.8, but can display 1.7.
Thus far, and apart from this little anomaly, I'm not too impressed with the way the auto focus focuses. It's clear that in a lot of situations (low contrast, low light, with certain textures or colors) the auto focus feature is pretty useless. I'd hate to see how it would perform with slower lenses.
I was never impressed with the AF on the MZ either. The motor seemed kind of anemic. Yer right, it is pretty useless in low light. They want you to buy a flash to gain access to the IR assist, and ugly light.
