Please help I am a newbie, and while taking pictures last weekend of animals, a deer licked my lens, and now the autofocus won't lock -- I can only get a red box. I have cleaned the lens with fluid and the cloth that came with the camera and it hasn't helped.

Correction: The focus signal indicates that focus is locked, but the focus frame is a red box, instead of a white box. I am in auto mode.

If you look at page 3 (record menu options) in the Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Review here,you'll see a photo of the screen showing how the box turns red when focus is locked, along with this comment: Quote:

But, it's highly unlikely that a deer licking your lens has anything to do with your Z5's behavior for showing and selecting the focus point in the display. If the camera is behaving differently now (unlikely unless you changed something), try resetting it back to factory defaults. You'll see a menu choice for that, too (Setup, Reset Default). |

Thank you for explaining this! I am relieved to know this was my problem, not the cameras :lol:
