Turning the Flash On

You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The effective flash range is approximately 50 cm – 7.0 m (1.6 – 23 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and approximately 50 cm – 4.0 m (1.6 – 13 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).

Choose h.

After pressing the rbutton, press the qr buttons or turn the Êdial to choose h, then press the mbutton.

XOnce set, hwill appear.

Shooting Close-ups (Macro)

You can shoot an object at a close distance or even shoot extreme close-ups of it. The focusing range is approximately 1 – 50 cm (0.4 in. – 1.6 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j).

Choose e.

The shooting mode will switch between e and with each press of the qbutton.

XOnce set, ewill appear.

In macro shooting, the edges of the image may be darkened if the flash fires.

How can I take better close-ups?

In macro shooting, try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting with the self- timer to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 56).
