Autofocus

Camera automatically adjusts focus according to distance to subject. Use when the 
distance from subject to lens is 50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.) or more, or 2.2 m (7 ft. 3 in.) or more 
when camera is zoomed in to the maximum telephoto position.

Macro close-up

Use for close-ups of flowers or small objects.
The closest shooting distance will vary according to the magnification of the zoom. 
In the zoom position where the F icon and zoom indicator light in green (wide-
angle position from the K icon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 
10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. At the zoom position that is three increments from the 
maximum wide-angle position to the telephoto position, the camera can focus on 
subjects as close as about 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.

Infinity

Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting 
landscapes.

A8) always lights in green. However, the camera may not be able to focus on 

nearby objects. The flash mode is set to W (off ).

E

Manual focus

The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of 1 cm (0.4 in.) to infinity
