Available Focus Modes
Autofocus
A
The camera automatically adjusts the focus according to the distance to the subject.
Use when the distance from the subject to the lens is 50 cm (1 ft 8 in.) or more, or
80 cm (2 ft 8 in.) or more at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
C
Close range only/D Macro close-up
Use for close-ups of flowers or small objects.
How close you can be to the subject while shooting depends on the zoom position.
When the zoom ratio is set to a position where Z/F and the zoom indicator light in
green, the camera can focus on subjects at approx. 10 cm (4 in.) or farther from the
lens. At the maximum wide-angle zoom position (zoom position G), the camera
can focus on subjects at approx. 2 cm (0.8 in.) or farther from the lens.
• When using the maximum telephoto zoom position, the camera can focus on
subjects at approx. 45 cm (1 ft 6 in.) or farther from the lens.
• When using C (close range only), the camera focuses on subjects in close range.
The camera may not be able to focus on subjects at far distances.

Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting landscapes.
The camera automatically adjusts the focus near infinity.

• The flash mode is set to W (off).
Manual focus
E
The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of 2 cm (0.8 in.) to infinity
from the lens (E2). The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
• This function can be used when the shooting mode is A, B, C, D, E, F, N,
special effects mode, Sports scene mode, movie mode or movie custom setting
mode.
