rMACRO (CLOSE-UP)PHOTOGRAPHY

Selecting Macro mode allows you to take close-
up shots. If the flash is set to “AUTO” or “:Red-
eye Reduction mode”, it is automatically set to
“uSuppressed Flash mode”.
●Effective Photography Range:
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 “yForced Flash” or
“;Slow Synchro” setting in the menu screen
(➡P.35, 36). However, you may not be able to obtain
the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.
●
!
When shooting in dark conditions, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
●
!
The LCD monitor automatically switches on.
●
!
You cannot switch the LCD monitor off.
●
!
When you cancel Macro mode, the LCD monitor
remains on.
To switch to Macro mode, slide the Macro selector
switch towards the Macro icon until it stops.
“r” : The “5” icon appears on the LCD monitor
and you can take close-up shots.
“t” : Macro mode is cancelled and the camera
is ready for normal shooting (➡P.19).
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.
