ªTaking Pictures using Macro Mode

This mode allows you to take pictures closely focusing on the subject. (e.g. When taking pictures of flowers.)

You can take pictures with the lens at a distance of 10 cm (Wide) from the subject.

Preparation

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

In Macro mode, we recommend using a tripod.

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.

In Macro mode, the captured range may differ from the visible range by the optical finder. Use the LCD monitor to take pictures.

The available flash range is about 30 cm – 4.8 m (Wide), 50 cm – 2.8 m (Tele). (When setting to [ISO400]/ [AUTO].)
