•Depending on the brightness and how fast the subject is moving, jitter may not be avoided.

•The camera may not be able to detect the movement of the subject in the following cases.

–When the subject starts moving the instant the shutter button is pressed fully

Taking Close-up

Pictures

This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm (0.16 feet) from the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P38) in macro mode.

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.

•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.

•Macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet) it takes longer to focus on it in macro mode than normal picture mode.

•The available flash range is about 60 cm (1.97 feet) to 5.0 m (16.4 feet) (Wide). (When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].)

•We recommend setting the flash to

Forced OFF [ ] when you take pictures at close range.

•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
