I had a similar huge problem with the auto-focus on my camera when one sleepless night I decided to take a few self-portraits, head-shots :)
I used my Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM - one of the best canon portrait lenses in my opinion but I couldn't get a proper focus after more than 20 attempts and the camera, of course, was on the tripod, with a self-timer set to 10 seconds, so plenty of time to stop shaking and then find a proper focus.
Finally, I increased the flash light power with several steps and set the aperture to f/22 to make the focus plane as big as possible and that did the trick. I used a studio pro-grade flash, triggered by a cable, as both the camera and the flash are static and on tripods.
I hope that helps? :) Cheers, mate!
P.S. I forgot to mention those were low-key portraits, so a lot of darkness, lmao
Привет, рад тебе :)
Эти фотографии я делал камерой Conika Minolta Z3, там всего 4 Мр на матрице. Когда в кадре много объектов на разном расстоянии, она может выбрать любой из них по своему усмотрению. Даже при достаточном освещении днём. Спасти может только увеличение глубины резко изображаемого пространства при закрытии диафрагмы, как ты и говоришь. Но и это не даёт гарантии, что твой главный объект будет в лучшем фокусе. Эта камера со своим характером :)
Но за счёт большого размера пикселей картинка получается не совсем обычной и иногда очень интересной.
Вот я и пытаюсь понять её характер)

Да, это скорее такая игра)
Но мне нравится и я чувствую, что у этой камеры хороший потенциал. "Жирные" пиксели - это круто)
