About the focus distance reference mark

The focus distance reference mark is a mark used to measure the focus distance.

Use this when taking pictures with manual focus or taking close-up pictures.

If you are taking close-up pictures

We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P68).

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.

The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

Note

If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

The MF assistance does not appear when using the digital zoom.

Even if 2 is pressed in My Color mode, the MF assist screen is not displayed.

After canceling Power save mode, focus on the subject again.
