focus problem? searched...nada

[Chris Stearns]

OK, I couldn't find this issue addressed anywhere else.

I have a brand new DVX100b. When I'm shooting landscapes (300yrds+), I usually zoom in all the way, focus on something(like a tree), then, zoom all the way out and start rolling.

My issue with this is that the sharpest image is achieved when focus is at 94-96, not at 99 (infinity). Things go soft just over 96. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal?

Thanks, Chris:huh:

Yes this is normal. Infinity at 99 is really damn far away.

So yes; objects we can actually percieve need to be brought into 95

Thanks for the quick post, John.

I wasn't that worried since the results so far with this camera have been AMAZING.
