Using Macro Mode

When using macro mode, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 1cm
(0.4in.) from the front of the lens.
This feature is useful when taking close-up pictures of flowers and other small
subjects.
1Press I (p macro mode) on the multi
selector.
2Press the multi selector H or I to select ON
and press the k button.
•If the k button is not pressed within a few seconds,
the selection will be canceled.
3Use the zoom control to set the zoom ratio to
a position where F and the zoom indicator
light in green.
•How close you can be to the subject when shooting
depends on the zoom ratio.
At the zoom position where F and the zoom indicator light in green, the camera can
focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm (4 in.) or farther from the lens. At the G
zoom position, it can focus on subjects as close as about 1 cm (0.4 in.) or farther from
the lens.
BNote on Using the Flash
The flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than 50cm (1 ft 8 in.).
CAutofocus
In shooting modes such as scene modes that cannot use the Autofocus mode (A62), Full-time
AF may be turned on and the camera will adjust focus even if the shutter-release button is not
pressed halfway when macro mode is set. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
CThe Macro Mode Setting
•Macro mode cannot be used when using certain shooting modes. See “Available Functions”
(A49) and “List of the Default Settings” (A59) for more information.
•The changed macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory
even after the camera is turned off.
