Recording pictures (advanced)

VQT0Q40
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to
Wide (1k). When you rotate the zoom lever
to Tele, the distance you can approach
varies in stages. The recordable range can
be changed up to 2 m (when the zoom
magnification is 11k).

∫Tele-macro function
When you rotate the zoom lever upmost to
Tel e (1 2k), you can take pictures
approaching the subject at a distance up to
1 m from the lens. (The tele-macro icon
[ ] appears.) It is convenient when
taking close-up pictures of flowers
blooming near the ground while standing
up or when taking close-up pictures of
insects from a distant position.
•We recommend using a tripod.
•When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field) is
much narrowed. Therefore, you will have
difficulty in focusing on the subject if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after the subject is
focused.
•In the tele macro mode, the depth of field
is extremely narrowed and jitters occur
easier than usual. Therefore, when you
cannot use a tripod, we recommend
taking pictures under the brightness in
which the aperture value is set to F4.0 or
larger and the shutter speed is set to
1/125th or faster to keep the depth of field
and the performance of the stabilizer
function.
•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– 4.5 m (Wide). (This is applied
when you set the ISO sensitivity to
[AUTO].)
•If you focus on the subject at 2 m or less
distant position with tele-macro function
when setting the optical zoom
magnification in 12k and then rotate the
zoom lever for setting the optical zoom
magnification to 11k or less, the subject
becomes unfocused. In this case, press
the shutter button halfway or operate the
camera to focus on the subject again.
•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.
