Focus Mechanism

Floating inner focus: the patent moves G2 (L5) and G4 (L8–L10) toward the image when focusing close, matching Sony's two-motor floating system. The patent tabulates infinity focus only and does not give the travel of either group, so the model has no focus travel; 0.28 m is Sony's marketed minimum focus distance.
