E71 autofocus easily overlooked
by Volker Weber
The Nokia E71 has autofocus, but it usually is not engaged. Which is a huge plus for regular photos. The depth of field is large enough to get nice shots without waiting for a slow autofocus. Shutter release is immediate. However, if you try a close-up, this is the result:
Now, if you press "T" until the focus frame has turned green, the outcome is much nicer:
Since the T-key sits nicely underneath the navigator and thus the shutter, this is working rather well for me. Yes, the phone needs dusting. But look at yours. ;-)

of course its dusting. you use mostly your mobile ;-)
@Thorsten: As we all know, vowe is not using mostly one mobile, but a lot of them at the same time. So it's really natural he doesn't have time left to use a normal land line phone. :-)
Omanomanomano... Volker, thanks! I was having a horrible time doing macro shots with the phone and could not understand how the focus was so far off. Thanks for the hint!
Thanks for the tip. Now I have taken my first good macro shot with my E71.
Nice B&O phone you have there.
