Q
MODE
Selecting Macro mode allows you to take close-
up shots. If the flash is set to “AUTO” or “n”
Red-eye Reduction mode, it is automatically set
to “b” Suppressed Flash mode.
●Focus distance:
Approx. 8 cm to 13 cm (3.1 in. to 5.1 in.).
●
!
Using the camera width (about 10 cm or 4 in.) as a
guide, ensure that the distance to the subject is
between 8 cm and 13 cm (3.1 in to 5.1 in.). The camera
will not focus on subjects outside this focal range.
●
!
To use the flash, select the “c” Forced Flash or “v”
Slow Synchro setting in the menu screen (➡P.40,
41). However, you may not be able to obtain the
correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.

If you use the viewfinder to take a picture in
