Close-up pictures
Use the Close-up setting to gain sharpness and detail in pictures at close range. Use available light instead of flash if possible. The camera automatically sets the focus distance depending on the zoom position:
Zoom position | Close-up focus distance |
Wide angle | 4.7-27.6 in. (0.12-0.7 m) |
| |
Telephoto | 3.9-6.9 ft (1.2-2.1 m) |
| |
Landscape pictures
Use the Landscape setting to gain sharpness of far away scenes. With this setting, the camera uses infinity auto-focus. Auto-focus framing marks are not available in Landscape.
