Taking Close-up

Pictures

This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking pictures of flowers.

You can take pictures approaching the subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.16 feet) from the lens by rotating the zoom ring upmost to Wide (1M).

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P51) with AF macro.

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the

distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.

•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.

•AF Macro gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is more than 1 m (3.3 feet) it takes longer to focus on it with [AF MACRO] than [AF].

•The available flash range is about 30 cm (0.98 feet) to 7.4 m (24.28 feet) (Wide). (When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].)

•We recommend setting the flash to

Forced OFF [ ] when you take pictures at close range.

•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

Released with a unique blend of features, this camera is tailored to meet the needs of those looking for versatility and high-quality imaging in a compact body.

At the heart of the DMC-FZ50K is a 10.1-megapixel sensor that delivers exceptional detail and clarity in images. This sensor is complemented by a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens, which features a 35mm equivalent focal length of 36mm to 432mm. This 12x optical zoom lens allows users to capture stunning landscapes as well as distant subjects with ease, making this camera ideal for a variety of shooting scenarios.

The DMC-FZ50K also supports RAW image format, giving photographers the ability to fine-tune their images during post-processing, enhancing detail and dynamic range.

A 2.5-inch swivel LCD display allows for easy framing of shots from various angles, while the electronic viewfinder provides an alternative for traditional shooting styles. The camera also features multiple exposure modes, including manual, aperture priority, and shutter priority, giving users creative control over their photography.

Finally, the DMC-FZ50K supports video recording at 30 frames per second, offering a seamless transition between still images and video capture. This versatility makes it a great choice for users who wish to explore both formats without needing to switch devices.
