•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P40) in the macro mode.

•When the subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range (depth of field) is significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will have difficulty in focusing on the subject if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject.

•When the camera lens is at a distance beyond the available range from the subject, the subject may not be focused even if the focus indication lights.

•The available flash range is about 30 cm to 4.0 m (Wide). (This is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity to [AUTO].)

•When you take pictures at close range in macro mode, the resolution of the peripheral of the picture may be slightly decreased. However, this is not a malfunction.

•Close the menu by pressing the shutter button halfway or the [MENU] button after finishing the setting.

•You can record smoother motion pictures with [30fpsVGA] and [30fpsQVGA].

•You can record motion pictures for longer period with [10fpsVGA] and [10fpsQVGA] although the picture quality is lower.

•Since the file size of [10fpsQVGA] is small, it is suitable for e-mails.
