∫ About the focus distance reference mark
The focus distance reference
mark is a mark used to measure
the focus distance.
Use this when taking pictures
with Manual Focus or taking
close-up pictures.
A Focus distance reference
mark (With the flash is closed)
B Focus distance reference line
C 20 cm (0.66 feet) (
When
20 mm/F1.7 lens included in
DMC-GF1C is used)
D 30 cm (0.99 feet) (When
14–45 mm/F3.5–5.6 lens
included in DMC-GF1K is
used)
• If you are taking close-up pictures
– We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P70).
–
The effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
– The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
Note
• When the MF assist is started by 2, MF assist will continue to display even after 10 seconds
has past without operating the focus ring or 3/4/2/1.
• If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.
• The MF assist does not appear when using the digital zoom or recording motion pictures.
• Even if 2 is pressed in My Color Mode, the MF assist screen is not displayed.
• After canceling Power Save Mode, focus on the subject again.
[REC] mode:
