Solution
The camera’s minimum shooting range is shown below:*
-Telephoto (): 40 cm (1.3 ft.)
-Wide angle (): 5 cm (2.0 in.)
When shooting subjects at short distances, using a wide angle setting is recommended.
As camera shake is more likely to occur when shooting subjects at shorter distances, please try mounting the camera on a tripod or taking other measures to keep it still.
*The camera’s minimum shooting range varies depending on the selected shooting mode. Shooting ranges for individual shooting modes are shown below.
