Panasonic DMC-FZ30GN operating instructions Prefocus, Changing the zoom area

Recording pictures (basic)

∫Prefocus

This is a technique to focus on the point to take pictures in advance when it is difficult to focus on the subject with auto focus due to its quick motion. [e.g. [PANNING] (P77) in scene mode]

This function is suitable when the distance between the camera and the subject is certain.

∫Changing the zoom area

The magnified area can be changed while the screen is expanded using MF Assist. This is convenient when you want to change the focus position to take pictures.

1Rotate the Focus ring.

2Press 3/4/2/1 to change the expanded area.

• The expansion is cancelled after

approximately 2 seconds.

•The following will return the AF area to the original position.

–Changing the Focus switch to [AF] or [AF MACRO].

–Changing the picture size or aspect.

–Turning the camera off.

•You can also record with manual focus in

motion picture mode [ ]. However the screen is not expanded while recording

the motion picture.

•When you focus on the subject in Wide, the focus may not be adequate in Tele. In this case, focus on the subject again.

•When setting the manual focus, you cannot set the continuous AF (P87).

•If you rotate the focus ring or zoom ring while recording motion pictures, recording pictures with audio or adding audio to recorded pictures, a grinding noise may be recorded.
