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. We recommend that you take pictures with either of the following settings when using a Panasonic digital camera: • Set the Auto Focus Mode to [Ø] (1-Area) to reduce the size of the AF area. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the digital camera. 105 m to ¶ [from the focus distance reference line] Maximum image magnification 1. ] switch None (Setting of the [Stabilizer] is done in [Rec] mode menu by LUMIX digital cameras. 5 mm (from the tip of the lens to the base side of the lens mount) Mass Approx.

Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise caution in the following situations: – When the camera is brought indoors from outside during cold weather – When the camera is brought into an air-conditioned car – When cold air from an air conditioner is directly blown onto the lens – In humid places • Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in order to prevent condensation. If condensation occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the surrounding temperature the condensation will go away naturally.
