Shooting Close-ups (Macro)
You can shoot an object at a close distance or even shoot extreme close- ups of it. The shooting range (focusing zone) is approximately 3 – 50 cm (1.2 in. – 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens (when the zoom lever is moved toward j and held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum wide angle setting of the lens).

The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.

How can I take better close-ups?
•Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in Î, to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 74).
•You can reduce the AF frame size when you want to focus on a specific portion of the subject (p. 79).
