Picture frame at (infinity) Close-up correction marks Picture frame at 0. 6m (2ft) 18 If the subject is nearer than 0. 6m(2ft), the autofocus indicator (green) will blink and the shutter will not release. However, the shutter may sometimes be released erroneously when the subject is extremely close to the camera. When correct focus has been achieved (the autofocus indicator has lit up), press the shutter release button fully (gently, to minimize camera shake). As soon as the shutter is released, film will automatically advance to the next frame.

Focal length of 38mm at 0. 6m(2ft). Macro photography Macro photography is possible at any focal length. Without performing any special operations, it is possible to take close-up pictures up to a distance of 0. 6m(2ft). 24 Focus lock Focal length of 76mm at 0. 6m(2ft). Using the focus lock, your subject will be in focus even if it is not in the center of the picture. 25 When the main subject is not in the autofocus frame, use the focus lock.
