Olympus Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras are some of the most advanced cameras in the world. Don't let their complex technology intimidate you-they are very easy to operate. However, there are just a few simple mistakes that can mess up your photography. Out-of-focus pictures are easy to avoid. Here's a look at some of the things that can go wrong and create a blurry picture when you take a photograph using an Olympus SLR.
Instructions
Troubleshoot an Olympus Digital SLR Camera
1. Make sure the camera isn't vibrating in any way when you take the picture. If the camera moves when the shutter is pressed, you will get a blurry picture. This becomes especially valid the longer the lens you use. You can use a tripod for extra stability.
2. Check the ISO (film speed) isn't set to automatic when you are in a darker setting. Use a high ISO in a dark environment, or use the flash.
3. Verify Release Priority is turned off. Olympus SLR cameras have a Release Priority function. This function allows you to take the shot even when the camera is not ready and does not have the subject in focus. Release Priority should be off and the Autofocus (AF) icon should show up in the viewfinder.
4. Ensure that the focus setting on the lens is switched to Autofocus (AF) and not Manual Focus (MF).
