Taking close-up pictures

Focus range

When a subject is too close to the camera, the picture may not be properly focused. The shortest recording distance differs depending on the zoom ratio and the setting in macro recording mode.

■■Shortest recording distance

The shortest recording distance is the distance from the lens front to the subject. This distance changes gradually depending on the zoom position. At the time of zooming, even if [Macro Mode] is set to [AF Macro] (), the shortest recording distance is the same as when the mode is set to OFF.
