Advanced (Recording pictures)

Note

•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored b y th e

heat or lighting from the flash.

•When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted

properly and the picture may become bright or dark.

•When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even

when you press the shutter button fully.

•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the sub ject.

•When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.

•It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the

access indication disappears.

•The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the

camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.

Taking Close-up 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 5cm (0.17 feet) from the lens by

rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).

Press 4 [#].

•In macro mode, [ ] is displayed. To cancel,

press 4 again.

Take the pictures.

∫Focus range

¢The focus range changes in steps.

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 lights.

•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.

Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on t he

subject, it may become difficult 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 more than 30 cm (0.99 feet) 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.
