Setting the focus range
The Focus button lets you toggle
between the three focus range
settings on the camera. Normal is the default setting. The focus
range setting resets to Normal
when you turn the camera off.
To change the focus range setting, press the Focus button on
the top of the camera until the Macro or Infinity focus light is lit. The default Normal focus range setting is selected when neither focus light is lit. The following table describes each of the focus range settings on the camera.
Icon Setting Description
None Normal Use when taking pictures of subjects greater than 0.5 m (19.7 in) away. Auto focus is limited to a distance range of 0.5 m (19.7 in) to infinity.
Macro Use when taking
0.14to 0.7 m (5.5 to 27.6 in) at wide, and
0.4to 0.7 m (15.7 - 27.6 in) at zoom ranges greater than wide.
Infinity Use when taking pictures of distant objects and landscapes. Focus is fixed at infinity.
NOTE When set to the Macro focus range, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (the focus brackets
turn red in Live View and the AF/ viewfinder light blinks green). However, when set to the Normal focus range, the camera will still take a picture if it cannot find focus.
