The focus range is the distance from the lens surface.
*2 The focus range depends on the current optical zoom position.
*3 During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was 
when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto 
Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.
Super Macro
Super Macro fixes optical zoom at a position that allows you to shoot from the closest 
distance to the subject. The result is closer and larger subject images.
NOTE
• Zoom is fixed while Super Macro is selected, so no zoom operation is performed 
when you rotate the zoom controller.
