About the focus range

i The focus distance indication shows the distance between the lens surface and the subject.

i In some cases there may be a slight variance between the distance (numerical figure) you set in the manual focus mode and the actual distance.

About zoom movement when using the manual focus

i If the focus distance is set to 70 cm (27.56 in.) or less, the zoom changes to the largest setting that is suitable for that focus distance.

i When the focus distance is set to 70 cm (27.56 in.) or less, the zoom will function only within the range at which the image is focused.
