Tips
•
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• For close-up recording, we recommend that you close the flash.
• The display of the recording screen will be delayed more than
usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping.
• For information on the focus range, refer to “About the focusing
range” on P59.
• In close-up photography, the in-focus range (depth of field) is
generally very shallow. Therefore, if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
• Closer parts of the scene are prioritized when taking pictures,
and so time is required to focus if you take a picture of a distant
subject.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution at the
edges of the frame may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the front lens surface gets dirty with fingerprints or dust, it may
not be able to focus on the subject correctly. (P327)
