5. Picture Taking

Normal Photography

The lens can be used as a medium-telephoto

lens for normal photography such as portraits.

Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification

are possible. The minimum focusing distance of

31 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 15 cm.

When focusing, you can give priority to framing

or to magnification.

[Framing Priority]

While looking through the viewfinder and framing

the subject, focus with the AF or MF mode.

[Magnification Priority]

1. Set the lens' focus mode switch to MF.

2. Set the magnification.

While referring to the magnification scale on

the lens, turn the focusing ring to the desired

magnification.

3. Focus the subject.

While looking through the viewfinder, move the

camera forward or back to find the point of

focus.

4. Touch up the focus.

Turn the focusing ring for fine focusing.

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 prevent camera shake, using a Remote

Switch (both sold separately) and tripod is

recommended.

• To check the depth of field, press the camera's

depth-of-field preview button.
