Setting the Focus Mode
This function allows users to define the type focus when recording a still image or a video clip.
To set the Focus mode
Press the • Macro button repeatedly until the desired focus mode icon is displayed on the lower left corner of the
LCD screen.
Macro/left button
This camera supports the following four focus modes:
Normal.
With normal focus, the focus range starts from 0.4m (about
16 inches) to near infinity. When the camera is set to Normal
mode, there is no icon displayed on the screen.
Macro.
This mode is designed for close-up photography. This mode
should be used for subjects closer that are 0.4 m (or 16
inches) from the lens. If Macro is enabled, the camera can
capture the detail and sharpness of a very close subject by
fixed focus.
Macro enabled
Pan Focus.
This mode is designed to accurately focus on a desired subject so that closer and further objects are out of focus.
For example, the camera might focus on a nearby tree, and the distant trees and mountains are blurry, as well as an
even closer object such as a flower.
Infinity.
When Infinity is set, the camera focuses on distant objects. This may be good to use when taking landscape photos.
