Taking close-up pictures
Focus range
When a subject is too close to the camera, the picture may not be properly focused. The
shortest recording distance differs depending on the zoom ratio and the setting in macro
recording mode.
■
Shortest recording distance
The shortest recording distance is the distance from the lens front to the subject. This
distance changes gradually depending on the zoom position. (When zooming, even if
[AF Macro] is set to ON, the shortest recording distance is the same as when it is set to
OFF.)

It may take some time until distant subjects come into focus.
●
Using a tripod and [Selftimer] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that is
close to the camera, setting [Flash] to
[Forced Flash Off] is recommended. (→53)
●
Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures
if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely
reduced.
●
Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
