Shooting Suited to Scenes (Scene Mode)

yMk Close-up

Photograph flowers, insects and other small objects at close range.

The focus mode (A40) setting is changed to D(macro close-up) and the camera automatically zooms to the closest position to the subject where the camera can shoot.

The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom position. In the zoom position where the Ficon and zoom indicator light in green (wide- angle position from the Kicon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. At the zoom position that is three increments from the maximum wide-angle position to the telephoto position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.

AF area mode is set to Manual to enable the focus area to be chosen (A95). Press the kbutton, and then press the multi selector H, I, Jor Kto move the focus area.

To adjust the following settings, press the kbutton to temporarily cancel focus area selection, and then adjust each setting.

-Flash mode or self-timer

-Exposure compensation

The camera continuously focuses using autofocus until you press the shutter-release button halfway to lock the focus.

As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, be sure that Vibration reduction (A193) is enabled and hold the camera steadily.
