Panasonic DMC-FS8S Taking Pictures with the Self-timer, Press 2 ë Press 3/4 to select a mode

Advanced (Recording pictures)

•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.

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

•The image quality when recording in [MACRO ZOOM] is poorer than during normal recording.

•The extended optical zoom will not function when [MACRO ZOOM] is set.
