Selecting the Flash/Macro Mode (Cont’d)

Off (Flash Override)

-Use this mode for places (such as museum) where flash is prohibited, or when taking a picture of a night view, or taking a picture using indoor lighting.

-The flash will not come on even when it is dark.

•Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower in the dark.

•If the green LED flashes when the shutter button pressed half-way, this is a warning that the lighting is not sufficient and the resulting picture will be dark.

Shooting Close Up Range

Macro-photo Mode

-Use this mode when you want to be close to the subject.

-If the distance between the camera and the subject is close, there will be a difference between the image in the viewfinder and the picture that is actually taken. It is recommended that the LCD monitor be used.

-If you use the TELE zoom button to zoom in fully on the image and then press the ￿ button, the camera switches to Super Macro mode, allowing you to zoom in even further on the subject.

•Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower when taking close-ups.

•If you use the TELE flash when shooting very close to the subject, the image may come out too bright. For information about the flash shooting distance, see page 45.
