Macro Mode (Close-ups)

To focus at distances as close as 10 cm/4 in., press the command dial left (F) and select F. If the optical viewfinder is on, the camera will automatically switch to the electronic viewfinder (because of parallax, the camera will not focus at distances of less than 80 cm/2.6 ft. when the optical viewfinder is used). To exit macro mode, press the command dial left and select OFF.

R The LCD monitor and electronic viewfinder can be used to focus at short ranges when macro mode is not selected, but the time needed to focus increases.

RThe shadow cast by the lens may appear in photographs taken with the flash at distances under 50 cm/19.6 in. Turn the flash off or increase the distance to the subject.
