Using the focus settings

You can use the Macro focus setting on the camera for taking close-up pictures.

The Focus button lets you toggle between the Normal and Macro focus settings. Normal is the default focus setting on the camera.

Icon	Setting	Description
None	Normal	Use when taking pictures of subjects greater
		than 0.8 m (31.5 inches) away. Auto focus
		is limited to a distance range of 0.8 m (31.5
		inches) to infinity.
	Macro	Use when taking close-up pictures of
		subjects less than 0.8 m (31.5 inches) away.
		Auto focus is limited to a distance range of
		0.1 - 0.8 m (4 - 31.5 inches), and zoom
		position is limited to a range of 1x to 3.5x.

NOTE If the camera is zoomed in past 3.5x when you set the camera to Macro focus, the camera will automatically zoom back to 3.5x. See Using zoom on page 33.

NOTE When set to Macro focus, the camera will not take a picture if it cannot find focus (the focus brackets turn red in the center of the active display). However, when set to Normal focus, the camera will still take a picture if it cannot find focus.
