How close can you be to the subject and still be in focus?

I'm usually a foot or two away to take pictures for my blog and they have come out good.

At full, 42X zoom (1,000mm), the focus distance is about 8'. But I find that if I take the zoom down just a little to 39x (928mm), I can get significantly closer. Maybe 4 or 5 feet. This may give you better results at a distance. Also, at long zoom, it is harder for the autofocus system to focus. Bright light is required.

How far are you able to recognize a subject that you know the mesures, looking throgh the binocular? This is the answer

You can. But it'll take some time practicing so you don't get all shaky with the video. To manually focus I'd just go with hand held

This lens can focus down to about 3/4" from the end of the lens, a distance that makes the distance between the subject and the sensor inside the camera about 4 inches. In practical use, one must get very close to their subject to get the maximum magnification, which for some might make this lens impractical. I use this lens not only for macro use, but as the standard lens which stays on my camera most of the time, it does very well in all situations and it is very sharp.

You can focus to within eight inches away of your subject. But remember that this is a wide angle, 24mm equivalent lens, so even at a close up distance, you will get more into your frame than you would with a longer lens. You must also be aware of potential wide-angle distortion.

You theoretically can, but it's not made easy. This honostly isn't a very good follow focus. I'd find something else to use.

You can be from infinite up to 30cm distance from your object. Less than 30cm, the image will be blurred. Hope it helps you.

Manual focus? Not impossible. That said, it is difficult to focus manual at extreme wide angle where autofocus does an admirable job.

Yes, absolutely! But here is the scoop, leave the lens set at infinity and simply move closer or farther way to get your subject into focus through the eyepiece!

If you meant by focusing on an object and make the background blurry, then the answer is no.

2nd answer. If you mean the closest distance you're able to focus at? I can only guess at about 15 to 20 feet. If you mean the closest distance you can calculate by using the mildot system I would again guess as close as you can get a clear focused picture. Mine gives me a very clear picture fifty yards and out but I could not honestly tell you the minimum useful distance.KT

wow, thanks, first I heard about the focus. So if I'm filming soccer coming towards me, the action will be out of focus at the other end of the field?

Attach to the lens you desire, then if using the 500D you will need to be about 15-20" from subject to achieve focus, if using 250D you will need to be about 6-8" from subject to focus...Auto focus will work within the distances I gave you, and sometimes vary slightly...

There is no focus. Only adjustment is for the width of your eyes. That's it. They work fine for me. Maybe you need to use your glasses.

i was confused the first time i used it. you focus with the lens attached. but i still had to get in really close to the subject in order for the camera to autofocus properly

Yes. Focus is pretty good but I would recommend stabilizing it on a tripod & with manual focus for the sharpest possible images.
