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).

Choose h.

After pressing the r button, press the qr buttons to choose h, then press the m

button.

XOnce set, h will appear on the screen.

Shooting Close-ups (Macro)

You can shoot an object at a close distance or even shoot extreme closeups 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 jand 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.

XOnce set, e will appear on the screen.

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).
