Turning the Flash On

You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The flash range is approximately 30 cm – 4.0 m (12 in. – 13.1 ft.) from the end of the lens (when the zoom button is pressed toward j and held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum wide angle setting of the lens), and 30 cm –

2.0m (12 in. – 6.6 ft.) (when the zoom button is pressed toward iand held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum telephoto setting of the lens).

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 – 60 cm (1.2 in. – 2.0 ft.) from the end of the lens (when the zoom button is pressed toward j and held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum wide angle setting of the lens).

Choose e.

After pressing the q button, press the qr buttons to choose e, then press the m

button.

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).
