Advanced (Recording pictures)

[AF MACRO]

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) (4k-10k).

∫Tele-macro function

You can take a picture as close as 1 m (3.28 feet) 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 shutter speed of 1/60 or higher to maintain the jitter compensation function.

•If you focus on the subject at 2 m (6.57 feet) 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.
