Focusing - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS20 Owner's Manual

Recording
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers.
_ Press • [_].
_ Press All' to select the item and then press [MENU/SET].
You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm
[AF,_] (0.16 feet) from the lens by pressing the zoom button
([AF Macro]) upmost to Wide (1 x).
Use this setting to get close to the subject and then further
enlarge when taking the picture.
You can take a picture with the Digital Zoom up to 3x while
[,_,]
([Macro Zoom]) maintaining the distance to the subject for the extreme Wide
position [5 cm (0.16 feet)].
• The image quality is poorer than during normal recording.
• Zoom range will be displayed in blue. (Digital zoom range)
[OFF]
• We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [(_] when you take pictures at close range.
• If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights up.
• 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.
• Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
• [Macro Zoom] cannot be set in the following cases.
- In Miniature Effect Mode
-When [AF Mode] is set to [rr_:.]
-When [Burst] is set to [l::_dH] or [l_]
