The camera does not focus when shooting subjects up close (PowerShot G7 X)

Content Id: 8202194000

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.

Shooting Mode	Focusing Range	Maximum Wide Angle ()	Maximum Telephoto ()
	-	5 cm (2.0 in.) – infinity	40 cm (1.3 ft.) – infinity
Other modes	[Normal] ()	5 cm (2.0 in.) – infinity	40 cm (1.3 ft.) – infinity
