................. Taking Close-up

• The focus range becomes the same as
macro mode. [5cm (0.16 feet) (Wide)/
30 cm (0.98 feet) (Tele) to J-]
• When the flash is activated, the ISO
sensitivity is automatically increased to a
maximum of [ISO640]. (When the highest
ISO sensitivity is set to asetting other
than [ISO40O].)
• Refer to P37 for information about the
available flash range.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
• Depending on the brightness and how fast
the subject is moving, jitter may not be
avoided.
• The camera may not be able to detect the
movement of the subject in the following
cases.
-When the moving subject is small
-When the moving subject is atthe edge
of the screen
-When the subject starts moving the
instant the shutter button is pressed fully
• To avoid picture noise, werecommend
decreasing [ISO LIMIT] or setting
[COLMODE] to [NATURAL]. (P64)
Pictures
[]
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of
a subject as close as 5 cm (0.16 feet) from
the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost
to Wide (1x).
•Focus range
•We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P39) in macro mode.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, itmay become difficult tofocus on
it again.
•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 ifthe focus
indication lights.
•Macro mode gives priority to a subject
close to the camera. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is more than 60 cm (1.64 feet) it
takes longer tofocus on it in macro mode
than normal picture mode [ O ].
