Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 Operating Instructions Manual page 73

Note
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
•
We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] 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.
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, 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.
