Before Shooting
Take a test shot at current settings.
We recommend using one of the following power sources to prevent loss of power while shooting is
in progress:
- A fully-charged battery
- An optional EH‑7P charging AC adapter
- An optional EH‑8P AC adapter with a UC‑E25 USB cable (featuring Type C connectors at both
ends)
- An optional EP‑5B power connector with an EH‑5d, EH‑5c, or EH‑5b AC adapter

Focus.
During focus shift, the camera takes a series of shots starting from a selected focus position
and continuing toward infinity. Given that shooting ends when infinity is reached, the starting
focus position should be slightly in front of (i.e., closer to the camera than) the closest point
on the subject.
Do not move the camera after focusing.
