∫ Technique for Manual Focus
1 Rotate the focus ring to focus on the
subject.
2 Rotate it a little more.
3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating the
focus ring slowly in reverse.
∫ About the focus distance reference mark
The focus distance reference mark is a mark
used to measure the focus distance.
Use this when taking pictures with Manual
Focus or taking close-up pictures.
A Focus distance reference mark
B Focus distance reference line
C 0.3 m (0.99 feet) (When the
14–42 mm/
F3.5–5.6
lens included in DMC-G2K/
DMC-G2W is used)
D 1.0 m (3.28 feet) (When the
45– 200 mm/
F4.0–5.6
lens included in DMC-G2W is used)
• If you are taking close-up pictures
– We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P78).
– The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. 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.
– The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
