Auto focus is used when the distance of a device changes, with that said this camera has a fixed distance And a fixed electronic focus. Unless your electronics have failed that is probably not your problem. A more likely problem is that your lens has moisture on it from the inside. This camera is known to allow it inside.Look at the lens if it is foggy take a hair dryer and blow on it until the moisture is gone then seal the unit well with a clear caulk. Hope this helps!

Sorry, wish I could help you, I'm kinda a novice about picture taking myself. I suspect it is a lighting problem concerning shutter speed or an exposure problem. You should have it checked by a friend with good camera expertise.

I have had the S4500 for just a few weeks. I wear tri-focals and lve. them on while shooting. I just did some testing and here's what I found: With my glasses on, I focused on an object (auto) The Image looked sharp in the viewer, and in "reviewing". I then lined-up another shot - without my glasses, moved the shutter button half-way down - object was blurred but I took the shot anyway. Reviewed it (on the camera back) and it was fine. Conclusion (after two more tests) the camera was focusing correctly regardless of what I was seeing ! Highly recommend you do same testing to confirm. Having checked other review, I agree this model does NOT have a Diopter (previous Fuji model I owned did) but I am already used to this system - but then I'm not a pro! Oh, don't forget when shooting picture of two people, always point the focus-beam at ONE of the faces then "re-frame" while holding shutter btn. half way down. (sorry if I,m stating the obvious!). Good luck. Harry Hilton

You need to use auto focus if you don't want to manually focus in and out on close ups or long distance shots. It sounds like you zoomed to fast and it couldn't adjust fast enough or you have it set to some weird manual setting. This happened to me that's why I am trying to offer advice.

Has anyone else found it impossible to get the fisheye to focus? It's blurry as heck.

Has anyone received an official response from Canon on this issue? Specifically, the nature of the issue (hardware/software). I have the same problem. Autofocus outside of the widest zoom setting does not function. The camera lights up focus targets and beeps, but the focus is clearly wrong. The camera is NOT in macro mode.

We have had many dissapointing 'fuzzy' pics as well. Especially indoors with the flash. Please see my review here (if they print it)! Essentially, our old 2 megapixel 'FujiFilm' cam puts the Olympus pics to shame. Maybe we got a defective unit?

could be that your lens is bad. I had a problem with the 40-150 and sent it back to get fixed. If the camera still under warranty , send it in to get checked out.

Gerald, did you ever get this issue solved for your camera? My niece just got one from a friend and she's having the same problem! HELP!

I have the same problem and mine miss focuses too. I have contacted Nikon, but I'm still waiting for a reply. I'm curious if this lens is a waste of money? Did you guys ever find out what was wrong?

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

Oh! It happened in very bright sun in my backyard. I noticed it during night shot as well. When I zoomed in on a street lamp in the night about 50 yards away, it went out of focus and stayed that way. Very strange focusing system. I tried all the AF settings, but the result was the same. In the tele mode, it looks like this system has some serious focusing issue.

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!

Unfortunately, camera didn't work properly (from the very beginning). I did not bother to return it, my fault. My only suggestion, if applicable, buy it locally. Good Luck

I am familiar with the problem, but don't know the answer. The autofocus is too slow and frustrating when trying to take quick shots. I am looking for a replacement camera.

I'm sorry, I don't remember for certain how mine worked...or didn't work. I sent it back after about an hour of trying to get it to even be recognized by my computer there was very little (if anything) that DID work the way it was supposed to. I suggest you do the same. Return it and remember...most of the time...you get what you pay for. I ended up buying a very nice camera I'm pleased with on ebay for something like $20-$30. Good luck.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.
