Multi-point Focus Shooting
In macro shooting, when zooming to change the focal length, the focal point varies.
The multi-point focus shooting technique uses this characteristic. The focal point is shifted by the zoom
operation. Follow the steps bellow:
1
Zoom in to a far object, and bring it into focus by normal focus operation.
2
Zoom out to a near object and bring into focus by macro operation.
3
Zoom in to the far object again while not touching the macro button set by above step 2, and bring into
focus again by normal focus operation.
To operate the macro, press the macro button to unlock the
macro ring. While holding it down, turn the macro ring at the
rear of the lens clockwise as viewed from the camera side to
allow macro shooting.
1
Set the lens to the widest angle by manual or servo zoom
operation.
2
Bring the object into focus by turning the macro ring.
Macro operation is also possible at any zoom position other
than the widest angle, but the object distance increases.
