Taking close-up pictures (macro/ super macro)

Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (wide-angle: 20 cm/7.9" to 50 cm/19.7"; telephoto: 60 cm/23.6" to 90 cm/35.4"). However, in macro mode focusing is performed quickly.

&This mode lets you shoot from as close as 20 cm/7.9" to your subject (when

the optical zoom is at the greatest wide-angle).

%This mode lets you shoot from as close as 2 cm/0.8" to your subject. In the [%] mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of the zoom is fixed automatically and cannot be adjusted.
