subject.
2 Rotate it a little more.
3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating the
focus ring slowly in reverse.

If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject,
the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case,
re-adjust the focus.
•

If you are taking close-up pictures:
–
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P201).

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.
