I notice that my S90 often has trouble focusing correctly in moderately close macro shots. I got it just before a dive trip, and initially thought that my focus problem was solely due to the difficulty of doing a "half press" of the shutter button in the Canon housing. However, I have the same issue with just the camera, sitting here at my computer.
If I repeatedly do the half-press focus, while backing up from minimum focus range, I'll find a spot-- sometimes -- where the focus is totally fuzzy. Press again without moving the camera, and it is usually fuzzy again, but might be just fine. When it mis-focuses, it seems to focus at the maximum Macro distance of ~50cm/20".
Sitting at my desk, focusing on the Tab key, this doesn't happen always, or half of the time, or even 1/10th, but it definitely happens too often.
I know dogdrjohn posted about having some focus issues underwater. Anyone else? Any one but me notice that on the surface?
