Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 39
Understanding the Focus Search
Priority
When the camera is set to Normal Focus or Macro focus, it
begins searching for focus from the last focus position.
However, you can use the buttons to change this
behavior. This feature is useful when there are multiple objects
at different distances in the focus region.
z Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway
down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from
the farthest position (infinity in Normal Focus, 0.4 m in
Macro, and 0.18 m in Super Macro), thus making the
camera more likely to focus on an object in the background.
z Holding the button while pressing the Shutter halfway
down causes the camera to begin searching for focus from
the nearest position (0.4 m in Normal Focus, 0.18 m in
Macro, and 0.06 m in Super Macro), thus making the
camera more likely to focus on an object in the foreground.
Super Macro
Use when taking close-up pictures of subjects less
than 0.18 m (7 in) away. In this setting, the camera
will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (the AF
viewfinder light blinks green and the focus brackets
turn red in the Live View screen). Auto focus has a
distance range of 0.06 m to 0.25 m (2.5 to 10 in).
