he digits displayed for the gauge on the right of the screen in step 1 serve as a guideline
for the distance to a subject that is in focus when the gauge is near the center.
•
The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom
position. At the maximum telephoto zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as
close as approximately 5.0 m (16 ft 5 in.) from the lens. When the zoom ratio is set to a
position where
at the bottom right of the screen is green, the camera can focus on
subjec
ts as close as approximately 10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. When the zoom is at a
position where the focal length (in 35mm [135] format) is equivalent to 30 mm, the
camera can focus on subjects as close as approximately 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.
•
The actual range at which the subject can be in focus varies depending on the f‑number
and zoom position. To see whether the subject is in focus, check the image after
shooting.

conditions, highlighting may not work properly or areas that are not in focus may be
highlighted.
