YMACRO (CLOSE-UP) PHOTOGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPHY MODE
Macro photography can selected in either “3”
or “4” photography mode.
Selecting macro mode allows you to take close-
up pictures of subjects at distances of between
6 cm to 50 cm (2.3 in. to 1.6 ft.) from the camera.
Select the “ON” setting and then press the
“MENU/OK” button. The “Y” icon appears on
the LCD monitor.
Also, set the flash functions according to the
given circumstances (➡P.47).
For subjects closer than 40 cm (1.3 ft.), the flash
mode should be set to Suppressed Flash
(➡P.49).
If you use the viewfinder to take a picture in
Macro mode, the field visible through the
viewfinder does not match the field actually
photographed because the viewfinder and
lens are in different positions. Accordingly,
you should use the LCD monitor to take
pictures in Macro mode.
