Recording
1 Rotate the focus ring to focus on the
subject.
2 Rotate it a little more.
3 Finely focus on the subject by rotating the
focus ring slowly in reverse.
Note
With the interchangeable lens (H-PS14042), you can focus by moving the focus lever instead
of the focus ring.
If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
After cancelling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
If you are taking close-up pictures
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P81).
The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance
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.
Technique for Manual Focus
About the focus distance reference mark
The focus distance reference mark is a mark used
to measure the focus distance.
Use this when taking pictures with Manual Focus
or taking close-up pictures.
