(1) When shooting under a normal condition, you need not take the trouble to adjust focusing because the camera is equipped with a versatile fixed focus zoom lens. If you care for a pinpoint focusing for the near subjects, set the figures on the zoom ring as follows: 12 mm (zone of focus: 2.5-5 m), 18 mm (zone of focus: 3-6 m), 30 mm (zone of focus: 5-8 m).
