FOR CLOSER SUBJECTS

The minimum focus distance of this camera is 50cm (1.6ft.) when the print format is C or H.

The green ready lamp will blink rapidly and the shutter will lock when you are closer than the minimum focus distance.

•When the print format is P, the minimum focus distance changes with the focal length; 50cm (1.6ft.) at W (24mm), 80cm (2.6ft.) at T (70mm), and middle distance for middle focal length position.

•If the subject is very close, the ready lamp may glow or blink slowly and shutter may be released, but the picture will not be in focus.

CLOSE-FRAMING GUIDE

If your subject is closer than 1.3m (4.3ft.), parallax will occur and actual image and image seen through the viewfinder do not match. In this case, center your subject in the focus frame, press the shutter-release button partway down, and without lifting your finger, move the camera slightly upward and take the picture (page 28). The amount of parallax is the maximum when the zoom position is tele end and focusing distance is the minimum; in this case, top end is guided by the close-framing guide.
