* The values for equivalent 35mm-format focal length and angle of view are based
on Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera equipped with an APS-C sized image
sensor.
**Minimum focus is the shortest distance from the image sensor to the subject.
•This lens is equipped with a distance encoder. The distance encoder allows m ore
accurate measurement (ADI) by using a flash for ADI.
•Depending on the lens mechanism, the focal length may change with any change of
the shooting distance. The focal length assumes the lens is focused at infinity.
•The infinity position provides for some adjustment to compens ate for focus shift
caused by change in temperature. To shoot a subject at infinite distance in MF mode,
use the viewfinder and set focus.

On focal length

The picture angle of this camera is narrower than that of a 35 mm-format

camera. You can find the approximate equivalent of the focal length of a 35 mm-

format camera, and shoot with the same picture angle, by increasing the focal

length of your lens by half.
