Technique for Manual Focus
1 Focus by moving the focus lever or rotating the
focus ring.
2 Move the lever or rotate the ring a little further
in the same direction.
3 Fine tune the focus by moving the focus lever
slightly in the opposite direction or rotating the
focus ring slightly in the opposite direction.
Note
•
If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject, the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case, re-adjust
the focus.
•
After cancelling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
•
If you are taking close-up pictures
–
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P93).
–
The effective focus range (depth of field) 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.
–
The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
