Panasonic DMCFZ28K Taking Pictures with the Self-timer, Press 2 ë Press 3/4 to select a mode

Advanced (Recording pictures)

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range 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.

•AF macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera, so if the distance between the camera and the subject is more than 2 m (6.57 feet), it takes longer to focus.

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

•If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the subject correctly.

Note

•When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.

•When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P91) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
