eritho Posted December 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) As we all know by now the camera has two possibilities for autofocus: AF and AF Macro. Now if you position the switch in AF it focus from 30 cm to infinity and if you use AF Macro It focus from 3 cm to infinity. Why two positions? Why not use AF Macro all the time? What have i missed?

Advertisement Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Hi eritho, Take a look here D-Lux (109) Autofocus AF/AF macro. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
BerkMillers Posted December 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 13, 2014 I do not own an Type 109, but I think it works as every other camera: AF-Macro is slower but more accurate than the normal setting. The normal AF is much faster than the Macro-AF. Owners of the Type 109, please correct me if I am wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 13, 2014 Shoot a remote subject matter behind a close, dirty window and you will see the difference. In normal AF position, your camera won't focus on the dirts. Hard to check if your windows are clean though . I don't know if there are other differences on your DL109 as i shoot mostly MF with my LX100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I looked on your Flickr site and I liked it very much. You are a very keen photographer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted December 15, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 15, 2014 Erik, I had 3 other DLux cameras before 109 and I always left that option to AF/Macro. I found it more convenient that way because I was often going close to my subject and I didn't have waist time to change! It worked fine for any shot, close or far!

Thank you Louis, Coming from M6,M7, and M9 I have very little experience with AF but as mentioned I could see no difference between AF and AF Macro except the extra 27 cm in macro position, However, as they made three different positions on the switch I thought/think there should be a reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
