Turning the Flash On

You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The effective flash range is approximately 30 cm – 3.5 m (12 in. – 12 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and approximately 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).

Choose h.

After pressing the rbutton, press the qr buttons or turn the  dial to choose h, then press the m button.

XOnce set, hwill appear on the screen.

Changing the Focusing Range (Macro/Infinity)

When it is difficult to focus because your shot contains subjects that are both near and far, you can change the focusing range to focus more reliably.

Choose a focusing range.

After pressing the qbutton, press the qr buttons or turn the  dial to choose an option, then press the m button.

XThe icon for the set mode will appear.

How can I take better close-ups?

Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in Îto prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 80).

For macro shooting, e will turn gray in the area that displays in the yellow bar underneath the zoom bar, and the camera will not focus.
