Macro Zoom
You can take a picture with the Digital Zoom up to 3× while maintaining the distance to
the subject for the extreme Wide position [10 cm (0.33 feet)].
A
• Focus range will be 10 cm (0.33 feet) to 7 during Macro
Zoom Mode regardless of the zoom position.

• The image quality is poorer than during normal recording.
• Macro Zoom Mode cannot be used when [7] in [AF Mode]
is set.

Note
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the ash to [o] 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 lights.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is signicantly
narrowed. Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed
after focusing on the subject, it may become difcult to focus 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.
