3. Recording Modes [Soft Image of a Flower] The soft focus creates a diffused image. Tips • We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer. • We recommend that you avoid using the flash when taking close-up pictures. [Appetizing Food] • Display of the recording screen will be delayed more than usual and the screen will look as if frames are dropping. • The focus range is different depending on lens used. Refer to "About the focus distance reference mark" on P156 for the focus range. • When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range 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. • Close-up regions are prioritized when taking pictures, and so time is required to focus if you take a picture of a distant subject. • When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction. • If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the subject correctly. The overall screen brightness is increased to make the food look appealing. Tips • If you are using a lens with the zoom function, you can enhance the effect by zooming in as much as possible and closing the distance between the camera and the subject. • We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer. • We recommend that you avoid using the flash when taking close-up pictures. 105
