The VIVID 910 uses contrast detection type auto focus. Auto focus may not be possible with the following objects:
• White wall etc. whose contrast is low

To scan such objects, set focus lock or perform manual focus. (Since focus lock performs active auto focus using a laser
beam, low-contrast objects can still be auto-focused.)
