3. Taking Closeup Shots in the Manual Focusing (MF) Mode
Shots taken with the camera's manual focusing
(MF) mode when using this lens make the
subject seem closer and larger than with the
autofocus (AF) mode. (with the exception of
when using the tele end)
The focusing distance ranges of the wide end
are shown below.
• AF in-focus range : 20 cm/7.87 in. to ∞
• MF in-focus range : 13 cm/5.12 in. to ∞
Focusing within a range of 13 cm / 5.12 in. to less
than 20 cm / 7.87 in. is possible only when using
the MF mode. (MF-only range)
The focusing distance represents the distance
z
between the [ ] mark (focal plane mark) on the
camera and the subject.
The minimum focusing distance when using the
z
AF and MF modes changes in accordance with
the focal length of the lens.
