Also, the level of detail visible isn't high enough to allow you to set the focus with a great degree of confidence. Although the camera displays an enlarged section of the scene, there's no focus scale to give any indication of where the focus point is.
OLYMPUS XZ 1 FOR SALE MANUAL
I had less success with the XZ-1's manual focus system. On some occasions it managed to latch onto and follow a fairly low contrast subject as it moved around the images frame, while on others it failed to follow a more distinctive subject. I found the AF Tracking system has a mixed performance. It struggles when light levels drop or subject contrast goes down, but it is respectably quick in more average lighting conditions. Olympus forges into that market with its XZ-1, a promising-looking model that's not quite as compact as the S95, but with an exceptionally fast f1.8 lens and a sleek design that rivals models like. The XZ-1's AF system is on a par with its competition and is probably assisted by the brighter than average lens, which allows more light to reach the sensor. Thanks in part to the development of compact system cameras, contrast detection AF systems have improved a fair bit over the last couple of years. In fact, even when shooting with a bright overcast sky in part of the frame, the XZ-1 managed to correctly expose the main subject in the foreground with no intervention from me. Although I had to adjust the exposure using the compensation facility occasionally, it was no more often than I would expect, and in some instances is was unnecessary when I expected it to be required.
The overwhelming majority of the images shot during this test were taken with the XZ-1's metering set to its general-purpose 324-zone multi-pattern mode. As usual, on many occasions the results from the Monochrome Picture mode look better when the contrast is pushed to its highest value. In the default Natural Picture Mode the Olympus XZ-1 produces punchy, vibrant images, which push the 'natural' description a little, but are nevertheless likely to find favour with most users. Even when shooting under a heavily overcast sky, however, the Cloudy white balance produces images that are too warm to be natural.
The auto white balance system also performs well in a variety of lighting conditions, often capturing the atmosphere of mixed lighting without overly correcting or totally eradicating any colourcast. Olympus has a good reputation for colour reproduction and the XZ-1 doesn't call this into question.
