The focus mode (A36) setting will be changed to D(macro close-up) and the camera automatically zooms to the position at the closest distance at which the camera can focus.

When the zoom indicator is positioned where the Fmark glows green, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 10 cm (4 in.) from the lens. At the Kzoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.

AF area mode is set to Manual. Press the kbutton to choose the focus area in which focus is acquired (A122).

The camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.

As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, check the Vibration reduction (A143) setting and hold the camera steadily.
