Technique for Manual Focus
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.
If you zoom in/out after focusing on a subject,
the focus may lose its accuracy. In that case,
re-adjust the focus.
After canceling Sleep Mode, focus on the subject again.
If you are taking close-up pictures:
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P195).
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.
