∫ About the focus distance reference mark
The focus distance reference 
mark is a mark used to measure 
the focus distance.
Use this when taking pictures 
with Manual Focus or taking 
close-up pictures.

A Focus distance reference

When 

20 mm/F1.7  lens included in 
DMC-GF1C is used)

D 30 cm (0.99 feet) (

When 

14 – 45 mm/F3.5 – 5.6 lens

If you are taking close-up pictures

–

We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P70).

–

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.

•

When the MF assist is started by 

2, MF assist will continue to display even after 10 seconds 

has past without operating the focus ring or 

3/4/2/1.

•

If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

•

The MF assist does not appear when using the digital zoom or recording motion pictures.

•

Even if 

2 is pressed in My Color Mode, the MF assist screen is not displayed.

•

After canceling Power Save Mode, focus on the subject again.

[REC] mode: 

This is useful when you want to take a picture of a subject outside the AF area or the 
contrast is too strong and you cannot achieve appropriate exposure.

∫ Fixing the exposure only

A [AF/AE LOCK] button

•

The aperture value and the shutter speed light.

•

If you release [AF/AE LOCK], AE Lock is canceled.
