1Press 4 [#].
2Press 3/4 to select the item and then press [MENU/SET].
•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.
•We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the foc us range of the camera, the
picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights up.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is s ignifica ntly n arrowed. There fore,
if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after foc using on the subject, it may
become difficult to focus on it again.
•Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the
camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it .
•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease
slightly. This is not a malfunction.
•It is not possible to set [AF#] in the following cases.
–In all Scene Modes except [3DPhoto Mode]
•[ ] cannot be set in the following cases.
–[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect] (Creative Control Mode)
