4. 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.
The focusing distance ranges of the wide end
are shown below.
• AF in-focus range : 0.2 m/0.66 ft. to ∞
• MF in-focus range : 0.15 m/0.49 ft. to ∞
Focusing within a range of 0.15 m/0.49 ft. to less
than 0.2 m/0.66 ft. is possible only when using the
MF mode. (MF-only range)
The [AF in-focus range] and [MF in-focus range]
z
will differ in accordance with the focal length.
Refer to the specifications on page 17 for details
z
on the range of focusing distances apart from
with wide-angle lenses.
The focusing distance represents the distance
z
between the [ ] mark (focal plane mark) on the
camera and the subject.
