6. Picture Taking
Normal Photography
The lens can be used as a medium-telephoto
lens for normal photography such as portraits.
Closeup Photography
Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification
are possible. The minimum focusing distance of
30 cm is the distance from the subject to the
focal plane. The working distance from the front
of the lens to the subject is about 14 cm.
For normal close-up shooting, the higher the
magnification, the faster the shutter speed must
be to prevent blur caused by camera shake.
Although it depends on the shooting conditions,
usually the shutter speed must be at least one or
two stops faster than normal.
For a shooting magnification of 0.5x, this lens
provides the effect of a shutter speed faster by
about three stops. For 1x, it will be about two
stops faster.*
* Depending on shooting conditions.
Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of
field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.
• The magnification refers to the ratio between the
subject's size and the corresponding image size
on the focal plane. On the distance index, it is
indicated as 1:x.
• To check the depth of field, press the camera's
depth-of-field preview button.
