[REC] mode:

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 1 cm (0.04 feet) from the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).

As you rotate the zoom lever towards Tele, the distance at which you can take close-up pictures changes in steps. The maximum distance for close-up pictures is 2 m (6.57 feet) (6k-10k).

Press [AF#/FOCUS].

In AF macro mode, [ ] is displayed. To cancel, press [AF#/FOCUS] again.

Tele-macro function

You can take a picture as close as 1 m (3.28feet) when the zoom is set to 11k-18k (close

to fully tele) ([ ] is displayed on the screen).

It is convenient to take pictures of flowers on the ground standing, or take close-up pictures of insects that may run away when you get too close.

Jitter may occur when using the tele-macro function. If you cannot use a tripod, it is recommended to take a picture in the light condition that will allow aperture setting of F4.0 or above and shutter speed of 1/125 or higher to maintain the jitter compensation function.

If you focus on the subject at 2 m (6.57feet) or less distant position with tele-macro function when setting the optical zoom magnification in 18k and then rotate the zoom lever for setting the optical zoom magnification to 11k or less, the subject becomes unfocused.

Note

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 focus range of the camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.
