falls in terms of distances from the camera. The objects within that range are the
ones that can be refocused on after the Living Picture is captured.
Each of the colored bands represents one slice of the depth within the
refocusable range, called Focus Steps. The brighter the color of a Focus Step,
the sharper the objects at that distance will appear when it is refocused.
In the Depth Assist Bar, the orange and blue bands, or Focus Steps, represent the
refocusable range. The numbers indicate the physical distances from the camera.
The distances are measured from the sensor plane symbol visible on the right
side of the camera’s exterior. While the measurements are mostly accurate, they
are not perfect. Think them as useful guide, there to give a good sense of where
the refocusable range is located.
Optical offset
When looking at the live view, the shallow depth of field is due to the f/2.0 main
lens. There is often much more in the refocusable range than what appears
sharp in the live view. The optical offset plots the optical focus position used in
the live view (and for autofocus) to the refocusable range — and can be adjusted
to suit the style of Living Picture being captured.
When the optical offset is at the default setting, objects at the core of the near
refocusable range will appear sharply focused in the live view. This means that a
Living Picture can be refocused on whatever looked sharp in the live view when it
was taken, as well as on objects somewhat further away, since most of the
refocusable range will fall beyond that point.
