OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Using the Macro Mode

Use the Macro mode when you need to focus on close up subjects. The following shows the approximate focus range in the Macro mode.

Range: 1cm to 50cm (0.4˝ to 19.7˝)

Using optical zoom causes the above range to change.

1.Press [] to cycle through the focus mode settings until “” is shown as the focus mode indicator.

2.Record the image.

The focus and image recording operations are identical to those in the Auto Focus mode.

NOTE

When the Macro mode cannot focus properly because the subject is too far away, the camera automatically switches to the Auto Focus range (page 81).

Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation (page 66) while recording with the Macro mode, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown

below to tell you the focusing range. Example: 1cm - 50cm

IMPORTANT!

Use of the flash along with the Macro mode can cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which can produce unwanted shadows in your image.
