Taking Close-up

Pictures

This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm (0.16 feet) from the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).

• We recommend using a tripod and the

self-timer (P44) in macro mode.

• When a subject is close to the camera, the

effective focus range (depth of field) is

significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the

distance between the camera and the

subject is changed after focusing on the

subject, it may become difficult to focus on

it again.

• If the distance between the camera and

the subject is beyond the focus range of

the camera, the picture may not be

properly focused even if the focus

indication lights.

• Macro mode gives priority to a subject

close to the camera. Therefore it takes

longer to focus in macro mode than

normal picture mode when the subject is

• The available flash range is about 30 cm

(When the ISO sensitivity is set to

• When you take pictures at close range,

the resolution of the periphery of the

picture may decrease slightly. This is not a

malfunction.
