OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

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 75).

Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation (page 58) while recording with the Macro mode, a value will appear on the monitor screen as shown

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

*￿￿ will be replaced by the actual focusing range value.

IMPORTANT!

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

During movie recording, Macro mode uses fixed focus that is optimized for macro recording.

Using Pan Focus

Pan Focus comes in handy when recording under conditions where Auto Focus is difficult for some reason, or in cases where Auto Focus operation noise is too noticeable in the movie audio.
