Use a tripod and the self-timer (P43) for best results.

When the subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will have difficulty in focusing on the subject if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject.

When the camera lens is at a distance beyond the available range from the subject, the subject may not be focused even if the focus indicator lights.

The available flash range is about 60 cm to 4.1 m (Wide). (This is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity to [AUTO].)

It is normal for the resolution of the edges of pictures taken with [AFw] at short distances to be lower.
