About Macro Recording The lens is designed to allow you to focus anywhere from the macro range (close-up distance) to infinity. For this reason, its focus lens moves a greater distance than a normal one, often causing Auto Focus operation to take longer. Please also note that the size of the area that can be brought into focus becomes much smaller in the macro range. When you have trouble bringing close-up subjects into focus, use a tripod or check the digital camera’s focus settings.
