OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Using the Macro Mode
The Macro mode lets you focus on close up subjects automatically. The automatic focus operation starts when you press the shutter button down half way. The following are the approximate focus ranges in the Macro mode.
Ranges: 10cm to 50cm (3.9˝ to 19.7˝) at wide angle 40cm to 50cm (15.6˝ to 19.7˝) at telephoto
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.
•You can tell whether the image is focused by observing the focus frame and the green operation lamp. The indications of the focus frame and green operation lamp are the same as those in the Auto Focus mode.
IMPORTANT! 
•Use of the flash along with wide angle zoom or the Macro mode can cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which can produce unwanted shadows in your image.
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 68) while recording with the Macro mode, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown below to tell you the focusing range.
Example: 
10cm – 50cm
