Taking Pictures With The Self-Timer - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 Operating Instructions Manual

Advanced (Recording pictures)
When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range 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.
AF macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera, so if the distance between the
•
camera and the subject is more than 2 m (6.57 feet), it takes longer to focus.
When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
•
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the
•
subject correctly.

2 seconds after it blinks.
Note
When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the

jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.

recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly
