*1 The focus range is the distance from the lens surface.

*2 The focus range depends on the current optical zoom position.

*3 During High Speed Movie recording, focus is fixed at the position where it was when recording started. To focus an image, half-press the shutter button for Auto Focus or focus manually before you press [0] (Movie) to start recording.

Super Macro

Super Macro fixes optical zoom at a position that allows you to shoot from the closest distance to the subject. The result is closer and larger subject images.

NOTE

Zoom is fixed while Super Macro is selected, so no zoom operation is performed when you rotate the zoom controller.
