eNote
• The focus range is different depending on lens used. Refer to "About the focus distance
reference mark" on P75 for the focus range.
• 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.
• Close-up regions are prioritized when taking pictures, and so time is required to focus if you
take a picture of a distant subject.
• 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.
