CHECKING DEPTH-OF-FIELD
When you set the focus of a particular subject, there is an area in front of you and
behind your subject that will also be in focus.
The depth-of-field table shows aperture values horizontally and ranges vertically. If,
for example, the aperture is F8 and the shooting range is 5m (Focal length 400mm), the
depth-of-field value is 4.96 (m)-5.04 (m) where F8 in the horizontal column and 5m in the
vertical column intersect. If your camera has a preview mechanism, the depth-of-field effect
can be confirmed in the viewfinder. For further details, see the instruction manual of your
camera.
PRECAUTIONS IN SHOOTING
When the built-in flash on the camera is used, symptoms such as corner illumination
fall-off or vignetting at the bottom part of the image may be observed, especially at the
wider-angle range.This is due to the inherent limitation of the coverage of the built-in flash,
and/or the relative position of the flash to the edge of the lens barrel, which causes shad-
ows on the image. Accordingly, we recommend not using the built-in flash at wider-angle
settings.
Please refer to the section of your camera's instruction manual pertaining to the use
of the built-in flash, since the angles of coverage of the flashes differ between camera mod-
els.
