When Im shooting subjects near to the camera, I can hear the lens trying to focus and see it trying to focus through the viewfinder, but it does not secure focus. What can I do?
If the lens seems to be unsuccessfully searching for a focus point, you may be too close to the subject matter for that particular lens. Lenses have a minimum focusing distance, and zoom lenses have different minimum focusing distances at different zoom settings. If you back away from the subject, the lens will focus at some point. If you intend to do macro or close-up photography, you may want to invest in a macro lens or the EX-25 Extension Tube. The E-System has two macro lenses: • The Zuiko Digital 35 mm f3.5 Macro has a 35 mm format equivalent focal length of 70 mm and focuses from 5.75 (146 mm) to infinity. • The Zuiko Digital ED 50 mm f2.0 Macro has a 35 mm format equivalent focal length of 100 mm and focuses from 9.45 (240 mm) to infinity. The EX-25 Extension Tube mounts between the lens and the camera body and reduces the minimum focusing distance of E-System lenses by moving the lens 25 mm away from the camera sensor. Lenses mounted with the EX-25 are not able to focus to inf
