Technique for Manual Focus

1Focus by moving the focus lever or

rotating the focus ring.

2Move the lever or rotate the ring a little

further in the same direction.

3Fine tune the focus by moving the focus lever slightly in the opposite direction or rotating the focus ring slightly in the opposite direction.

•If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject, the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case, re-adjust the focus.

•After canceling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.

•If you are taking close-up pictures:

–We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P170).

–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.
