<Operation>
1Press the “
” button and select the desired mode.
Display appearance when the macro mode is selected.
2Press the shutter release button to take the picture.
<Combined Modes>
When shooting in the macro mode, pressing the “ ” button will permit macro flash photography.
Take care, however, since very close subjects may receive excessive exposure. In this case, use the exposure compensation function to compensate the exposure.
<NOTE>
When shooting with the optical viewfinder (LCD monitor turned
OFF), if the macro mode [
] is selected, the LCD monitor will automatically turn ON when the shutter release button is depressed halfway.
Since parallax occurs when using the optical viewfinder for macro photography, we recommend that you use the LCD monitor to compose your photographs when shooting extreme closeups.
*Parallax refers to the difference between what is seen in the viewfinder and the actual image recorded through the camera’s taking lens.
