Focus ring
With snapshot focus, a distance is set using the focus ring based on the shooting
distance. The camera focuses over a depth of fi eld corresponding to the set aperture
value.
• We recommend setting the aperture to F5.6 or above with a 17mm f1.8 or an ED12mm
f2.0.
• You can shoot at the selected distance irrespective of the AF mode on the camera.
• When the lens is set to MF, the camera is set to manual focus regardless of the camera’s
settings.
• Use the distance scale only as a guide.
