Just got my 995 back, they replaced the lens and now the INF focus
is TACK sharp. Can not tell the difference betwwen that and AF.
Very cool!!

Just wish they could have done this on the first try.

I don't know about Jeff, but I recentlty sent my 990 to the Torrance, CA facility to get a dead pixel remapped and it took less than two weeks.

I hand delivered it to the LI NY center last Tuesday 8/30. I was off from work the last to days so it either came in yesterday or the day before. Service time about a week to a week and a half. That was about how long as well the first time I brought it in.

Check that thread there is a picture that I blended together showing the problem. One side full zoom with auto focus, the other half taken 1 sec. later all I did was press the INF (mountain icon) button.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks. Yup I got that one. Now when you find time, could you post new photos from your (repaired/replaced) camera. I think my 995 might have the same problem you did have.

Thanks again.

Oh I always loved the camera. I tried to live with the problem like other said they would, but I just kept running into situations where I would need to place the camera into INF and realized I could not. Like cityscapes at night. I am very glad it is now 100%. Would have hate to have sold it and defected to a G2 :)

Just press the button on the lower left under the LCD. First press a mountain icon shows, this is INF focus, anything 30ft and beyond should be in focus. Great for landscapes, and night shooting. Next press Macro mode, a flower shows, next press, self timer.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks so much for posting the pic. I think my 995 is just fine. I love my 995 and I should stop finding fault in it 'cuz whatever they are, they are just petty little things that can't overshadow its excellent qualities.

Thanks again.
