Taking close-up images without standing close to subject ‘TELE MACRO’ function

Useful for taking close-up pictures of, for example, birds that may fly away if approached, or to blur background and emphasize subject.

‘TELE MACRO’ operates automatically when optical or extended zoom optical ratios are close to the maximum T setting (10x or above for optical zoom). The focus can be aligned for distances as close as 1m (3.28 feet).

Scene mode flash settings are restored to default when scene mode is changed.

Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.

If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. ) will turn red when shutter button is pressed halfway.

No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging).

Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or white balance. Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.

Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
