Re: Panasonc G7 camera refused to take a photo

Thanks for your replies.

It does look like the ability to focus is the problem.

What I'm hoping to do is to simulate the same conditions. I don't have the same sunset but will try to take the photo on a cloudy sky at about the same time so the lighting is similar. I want to then switch to manual focus to see if focus was the problem.

What would be very helpful is a flashing message telling me that the camera cannot focus. Some cameras lack in telling the camera operator what the problem is.

I'll also check my camera settings. I think the camera is set for spot focusing but I'll check. I'll also check the 'focus before taking the photo' option.

It should be possible to half press the shutter on another part of the sky that does  not have problems in taking shots and then move the camera to the sky I want to photograph.

I did find it strange that the camera would only work on certain parts of the sky.
