Recording
For details on [Rec] Mode menu settings, refer to P34.
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers.
Applicable modes: ·
Note
•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.
•We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication light s.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subjec t is chang ed af t er foc using on t he
subject, it may become difficult to focu s on it again.
•Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.
•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
[Macro Mode][]
([AF Macro]) You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm (0.17 feet) from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).
[]
([Macro Zoom])
You can take a picture with the Digital Zoom up to 3k while maintaining
the distance to the subject for the extreme Wide position [5 cm
(0.17 feet)].
•The image quality is poorer than during normal recording.
•Zoom range will be displayed in blue. (digital zoom range)
•Macro Zoom Mode cannot be used when [ ] in [AF Mode] is set.
