In MACRO ZOOM, higher magnification results in lower picture quality.

When set to MACRO ZOOM, extra optical zoom is cancelled.

MACRO ZOOM setting cannot be used while recording in ‘MULTI ASPECT’ mode. We recommend using a tripod, the self-timer (P.48), and flash ‘FORCED FLASH OFF’ (P.43).

Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if subject is close to camera, due to margin for focus alignment being severely reduced. Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.

1Focus range varies depending on the zoom ratio.

2The focus range is identical under the following settings.

• (INTELLIGENT AUTO mode) • (CLIPBOARD mode)

FOOD, CANDLE LIGHT, BABY, HIGH SENS., UNDERWATER, PET, HI-SPEED BURST, PIN HOLE, FILM GRAIN in SCENE mode

• When set to (AF MACRO) in (MOTION PICTURE mode)

3The focus range is identical under the following settings.

PORTRAIT, SOFT SKIN, TRANSFORM, PANORAMA ASSIST, SPORTS, PARTY, SUNSET, STARRY SKY, BEACH, SNOW in Scene Mode

• When not set to (AF MACRO) in (MOTION PICTURE mode)

Zoom ratios are approximate.

Ranges for focus alignment differ for scene modes.

Zoom ratios shown above vary when extra optical zoom is used. Max. W: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to W side (no zoom)

Max. T: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to T side (maximum zoom ratio)
