Maximum telephoto setting

focus depends on the zoom magnification. Unless
there is a distance more than 1m (3.3 ft) to the
subject, the lens is out of focus at the maximum
telephoto setting.
TELE MACRO (Factory-preset:OFF)
OFF:Disables the function.
ON:When set to “ON”, you can shoot a subject
as large as possible at a distance of approx. 60 cm
(2 ft).
NOTE:
Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go
out of focus.
