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,

Take the pictures.

Focus range
¢The focus range changes in steps.
Note
We recommend using a tripod and the s elf-timer.
We recommend setting the flash to [ Œ] whe n you take pictures at close range.
If the distance between the camer a and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly fo cu sed even if the focus indication lights .
When a subject is close to the camer a, the effective focus range is signif icantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance b etween the camera and the subj ect is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to fo cus on it again.
Macro mode gives p riority to a subject clo se to the camera. The refore, if the distance b etween
the camera and the subject is mor e t han 1 m (3.28 feet) it takes longer to focus on i t in macro
mode than normal picture mode.
When you take pictures at close rang e, the resolution of the peripher y of t he picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunct i on .
