Focus range

When a subject is too close to the camera, the picture may not be properly focused. The shortest recording distance differs depending on the zoom ratio and the setting in macro recording mode.

■■Shortest recording distance

The shortest recording distance is the distance from the lens front to the subject. This distance changes gradually depending on the zoom position. At the time of zooming, even if [Macro Mode] is set to [AF Macro] (), the shortest recording distance is the same as when the mode is set to OFF (2 m (6.6 feet) when the optical zoom magnification of 5x to 7x is used).

Focus range

●●It may take some time until distant subjects come into focus.

●●Using a tripod and [Self Timer] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that is close to the camera, setting [Flash] to [Forced Flash Off] is recommended.

●●Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely reduced.

●●Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
