This mode will attempt to focus continuously at the cost of battery life. Also, in addition to "single" AF, which focuses when you partially depress the shutter, you can set the camera to "monitor" AF. The W35 does have a focus assist lamp that helps get a focus lock in dim conditions. You can also "set" the focus at 0.5, 1, 3, and 7 meters as well as infinity. Focus is determined by a multi-area AF or center AF. A green light on the LCD stays solid when a focus lock is achieved. In macro mode, you can focus on something as close as 0.74 inches.Īuto focus is quick and accurate as long as you’re in the right focus mode. In normal mode, you can focus as close as 19.7 inches.

The maximum aperture ranges from f2.8 to f5.2, depending on the zoom setting.Īs this is a fairly entry level camera, you simply get a normal focus and macro focus. This camera gets a fairly typical 3x optical zoom. Even though the total pixel count is only 85K, it still provided a sharp preview as all those pixels are in a 2 inch frame. Refresh rates are good enough to provide a smooth preview of your shot. It was better than the Sony S700 that I recently reviewed, but still not great. Outdoors, in bright conditions, viewing the LCD was just “ok”. The colors displayed on the LCD are accurate and the brightness gains up and down depending on the lighting conditions. The W35 has a 2 inch LCD with 85K pixels of resolution. Full size images are 3072×2304 pixels in size.

The W35 has a 7.2 megapixel, 1/2.5” CCD imaging sensor.
