      william81Sep 9, 2025
      If the LCD screen image is out of focus, it could be due to using the wrong mode for the subject distance. Set the camera to Still Image mode for distant subjects or Macro mode for close subjects. When using Macro mode, maintain these distances: Wide Angle: 0.5 ft~ 2.6 ft (0.15 m ~ 0.8 m); Telephoto: 1.6 ft ~ 2.6 ft (0.5 m ~ 0.8 m).
