Adjusting the Camera Settings

Using Macro Mode

Use macro mode to take close-up photos of small objects. For example, use macro mode to take a close-up photo of a flower.

To turn on macro mode:

1.Turn the camera on and turn the camera mode dial to Rec.

2.Press the color LCD on/off button to turn the color LCD on. Note: The color LCD must be on for macro mode.

3.If you do not see the overlay bars on the color LCD, press the Overlay button to turn the overlay bars on.

4.Press the center soft key until the macro mode icon appears in color at the center of the lower overlay bar.

Note: The center soft key toggles between the self-timer and macro mode so that you can take photos using just one of the modes, or both at the same time. The icons appear in color if they are on. Keep pressing the button until you have selected the combination of self-timer and macro mode that you want; one on, both on, or both off.

5.View your subject through the viewfinder, and then frame your photo on the color LCD.

6.Take your photo.
