Optical Offset
When looking at the live view, the shallow depth of eld is due to the f /2.0 main lens. There is 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 peak 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 further away, since most of the refocusable range will fall beyond that point.
In the illustrations that follow, the brighter the shade of the blue or orange band, the sharper objects at that distance will appear when
refocused. The brightest band in each component range is its peak — where objects will appear sharpest when refocusing.
