Factory preset (OFF) : Usually the distance to a subject
where the lens is in focus depends on the zoom
magnification. Unless there is a distance of more than 1 m
(3.23 ft.) to the subject, the lens is out of focus at the
maximum telephoto setting. When set to ON, you can
shoot a subject as large as possible at a distance of
approximately 60 cm (23-5/8¨).
Depending on the zoom position, the lens may go out of
focus.
