This might be a silly question - but let's say that I have one of the 5442-ZE cameras, let's say it's adjusted to 12 mm.
If an object comes close to the camera, assuming the focus was adjusted "farther out", the subject will be blurry.
Does the software on the camera automatically adjust the focus based on current conditions, or is it only adjusted when the lens is being zoomed in/out?

I guess I can see downsides of "automatic adjustments", such as rain on the lens causing the whole scene to be out of focus, or the autofocus constantly "hunting".

Can someone confirm the behavior?
