∫ Technique for Manual focus
1 Rotate the focus ring.
2 Rotate it a little more.
3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating
the focus ring slowly in reverse.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing
on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• After turning the camera off and then on
again or cancelling power save mode,
focus on the subject again.
∫ About the focus distance indicator
and the focus distance reference line
The number on the focus distance indicator
A ([0.29] m to [¶]) is a measurement from
the focus distance reference line 1 on the
top of the camera.
Use this when taking pictures with manual
focus or taking close-up pictures.
B: Focus distance reference line
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
• The available flash range is about 2.5 m to
7.0 m (Wide) (When the ISO sensitivity is
set to [AUTO].). We recommend setting
the flash to Forced OFF [ ] when you
take pictures at close range.
• If you are taking close-up pictures
– We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer. (P68)
– 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.
