•Use of the flash together with Macro Focus can cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which may result in unwanted lens shadows in your image.
•In the case of movie recording, Auto Macro operates before you start recording. After recording is started, however, focus is fixed.
•Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation while shooting with Auto Focus, Macro Focus, or Manual Focus, a value will appear on the monitor screen to tell you the focus range, as shown below. Note that the focus range is displayed including the Auto Macro range only when shooting with Auto Focus.
Example: oo* cm to 9
*oo is the actual focusing range value.
•The operations assigned to the [4] and [6] keys with the “L/R Key” setting (page 101) are disabled while Manual Focus is selected as the focus mode.
•The “Focus” setting is always fixed at “AF” (Auto Focus) whenever “Face Detection” is being used. If you want to change the “Focus” setting, first select “Off” for “Face Detection”.
