●

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

 

●

Using a tripod and [Selftimer] 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.

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.

The shortest recording distance is the distance from the lens front to the subject. This distance 

changes gradually depending on the zoom position.

 

●

Focus range is displayed when operating the zoom, etc. (When zooming, even if 

[Macro Mode] is set to ON, the shortest recording distance is the same as when it is set 

to OFF.)
