Kodak DCS 700 User Manual

7-15

In the following situations, ignore the in-focus indicator (•).

✔ When the subject is obscured by an object such as a fence in the foreground, use 

Single Area AF mode and select the subject’s focus area (described on page 7-1) or 
focus manually with the clear matte field.

✔ With an extremely bright object near your subject, use Single Area AF mode and 

select the subject’s focus area, or focus manually with the clear matte field.

✔ When using a linear polarizing filter or other special filter such as a soft-focus 

filter, focus manually with the clear matte field.

☛

A circular polarizing filter can be used in connection with autofocus operation.

The IR or Anti-aliasing filters cause the distance indicator on your lens to show that an 
object is closer than it actually is. This is particularly true when you use a wide angle lens.

The anti-aliasing filter also slightly increases the minimum distance at which you can 
focus. It does not affect focusing, either manual or automatic.
