Focus range

 

●

It may take some time until distant subjects come into focus.

 

●

Using a tripod and [Self Timer] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that 

is close to the camera, setting [Flash] to [   ] ([Forced Flash Off]) is recommended.

 

●

Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures 

if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely 

reduced.

 

●

Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
