2.0m (12 in. – 6.6 ft.) (when the zoom button is pressed toward iand held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum telephoto setting of the lens).

The shooting range (focusing zone) is approximately 1 – 50 cm (0.4 in. – 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens (when the zoom button is pressed toward j and held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum wide angle setting of the lens).

How can I take better close-ups?
•Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in Î, to prevent the
camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 68).
• You can reduce the AF frame size when you want to focus on a specific portion of the subject (p. 73).
