Techniques for Taking Pictures

Macro (Applicable mode: C/N/M)

Macro mode allows you to take close-up pictures at distances as close as approx. 20 cm (7.9")*1 from the subject. Because the focal length of the lens is locked in the wide-angle position (shortest focal length), the zoom does not function.*2

As flash mode, you can select either Fill-in Flash mode, in which the flash fires for every shot, or Flash Off mode, in which the flash never fires. (See “Using the Flash” on p.4-2.)

*1 Distance measured from the glass cover plate on the lens to the subject.

*2 Only the digital zoom can be used.

■ Using macro mode

Compose the shot and press the shutter release
button half way.
When the camera gives a short beep and the
green shooting mark “B” lights on the LCD
monitor, the exposure and focus are set. Then,
taking care not to move the camera, release the	Approx. 20cm (7.9")
shutter to take the picture.

Landscape (Applicable mode: C/N/M)

This shooting mode is ideal for shots of scenery where the main subjects of the picture are in the far distance. The flash is set not to fire and focus is fixed at infinity.

•Because slow shutter speeds are used in Night View and Night Portrait modes, you should place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer to take pictures. ( p.4-4)

•To prevent camera shake in Macro mode where high magnifications are used, you should place the camera on a stable surface and use the self-timer to take pictures.

•Take care to avoid camera shake in other modes also.
