Focus Mechanism

Infinity-focus model: the patent describes rearward focus motion of L6 (E19) but publishes no finite-focus gaps. Focus is disabled; the 0.21 m label is retained retail metadata, not a modeled conjugate. IS is centered. Numerical zoom gaps take precedence over the contradictory all-groups-objectward narrative. Only D31 and D33 change for isolated L6 focus motion; BF belongs to zoom.
