Konica Minolta KD-500Z Shooting Close Up/Long Range Macro-photo Mode, Distant View Mode

Selecting the Shooting Mode (Cont’d)

Shooting Close Up/Long 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.

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

•The self-timer function can be used in conjunction with this function for shooting.

•If you use the flash when shooting very close to the subject, the image may come out too bright. For information about the flash shooting distance, see page 38.

Macro-photo Mode	Focus Distance	Shooting Distance
Shooting Distances	Wide-Angle	6cm (2.4in.) to ∞
	Telephoto	0.5m (1.6ft) to ∞

Distant View Mode

-Use this mode when shooting a distant subject, such as scenery or buildings.

•Always use a tripod.

•The flash will not come on.

•The self-timer function can be used in conjunction with this function for shooting.

Using the Self-Timer

Self-Timer Mode

-Use a tripod.

-When the shutter button is pressed, the self-timer LED comes on, and after 10 seconds, a picture will be shot.

•If you wish to cancel the self-timer function, close the lens cover.

•After a picture is taken, the self-timer mode (10-second delay) will be cancelled. If you wish to use the self-timer repeatedly, set the mode every time you take a picture.

•The activation time for the self-timer can be also set at “3-second delay” by using the set-up menu (p. 97). If you set the self-timer for a 3-second delay, the setting is effective even after shooting so that you can continue to take a picture using the self-timer.
