The Focus Range Selector
Choose the focus range for
autofocus: FULL (0.25 m–∞)
or, for faster focus, 0.5 m–∞ or
0.25–0.5 m.
Q At the minimum focus distance of 25 cm, the work-
ing distance (the distance between the subject and
the front lens element) is 11 cm.

Optical Image Stabilization (O. I. S.)
To use optical image stabiliza-
tion, slide the O. I. S. switch to
ON.
Q The high reproduction ratios used in macro photography amplify the ef-
fects of camera shake. Although the lens compensates for panning (verti-
cal and side-to-side) motion and consequently does aid in reducing blur
during macro photography, caution is required as image stabilization will
be less eff ective than at longer focal lengths.
Q The shallow fi eld depths associated with macro photography increase the
risk of out-of-focus shots should the distance to the subject change as the
result of camera shake. When shooting at short working distances, we rec-
ommend that you focus using AF-C and hold the camera steady.
