Taking Close-up pictures

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 (0.16 feet) from the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1×).

nFocus range

• Normal

• Use a tripod and the self-timer (P47) for

best results.

• 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.

• AF Macro mode gives priority to a subject

close to the camera. Therefore it takes

longer for the camera to focus in macro

mode than in standard AF mode [AF]

when the subject is 50 cm (1.64 feet) or

more away.

• The available flash range is about 60 cm

(1.97 feet) to 4.9 m (16.08 feet) (Wide).

sensitivity to [AUTO].) We recommend
