    Solution

    When shooting a distant subject or close-up subject, there are cases where focus cannot be achieved under the normal shooting range.
    Set an optimal focusing range depending on your shooting conditions.
    CAUTION
    • The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.
    • The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program AE] ().
    • If the [Shooting Mode] is set to [AUTO] (), the [Focusing Zone] is automatically set, so it is not necessary to perform the procedures explained here. When shooting, please maintain designated distances from the subject as indicated below.
    - When you have pressed the <Zoom Button> to select <Wide Angle> (), the camera is at maximum wide angle, so move about 3 cm (1.2 in.) or more away from your subject.
    - When you have pressed the <Zoom Button> to select <Telephoto> (), the camera is at maximum telephoto, so move about 30 cm (12 in.) or more away from your subject.
    • To set the [Focusing Zone], it is necessary to set the [Shooting Mode] to one of the following modes.
    - [Program AE] (), [Long Shutter] (), [Movie] ()

    Images sample:
    For a snapshot such as the one shown below, shoot in [Normal] () mode.



    When shooting snapshots whose subject is 3 – 60 cm (1.2 in. – 2.0 ft.) from the front end of the lens such as the one shown below, use the [Macro] () mode (When the camera is at maximum wide angle with the <Zoom Button> pressed and <Wide Angle> () selected)



    When shooting landscape pictures or snapshots whose subject is far away from the lens, use the [Infinity] () mode.




    How to set the mode
    1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.




    2. Press the <Macro / Infinity> ( / ) button.




    3. The following screen appears.



    Operate the <directional buttons> left or right to set an optimal focusing range for your shooting conditions.
    The focusing range you selected will appear.
    NOTE
    • The distance of each focusing range is as follows (from the end of the lens): If you shoot beyond the following ranges, the subject may be out of focus.
    - [Normal] () : 5 cm (2.0 in.) – infinity (W)* / 30 cm (12 in.) – infinity (T)**
    - [Macro] () : 3 – 60 cm (1.2 in. – 2.0 ft.) (W)
    - [Infinity] () : 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) – infinity
    * (W) : When the camera is at maximum wide angle with the <Zoom Button> pressed and <Wide Angle> () selected (at the Wide-end).
    ** (T) : When the camera is at maximum telephoto with the <Zoom Button> pressed and <Telephoto> () selected (at the Tele-end).
