Taking close-up pictures without standing close to subject
“Tele macro” function
“Tele macro” operates automatically when Optical or Extended Optical Zoom ratios
are close to the maximum T setting (16x or above for Optical Zoom). The focus can be
aligned for distances as close as 1 m (3.28 feet). ( changes to )

ƔIt may take some time until

distant subjects come into focus.

ƔIn [Macro Zoom], higher magnification results in lower picture quality.

ƔWhen [Macro Zoom] is set, Extended Optical Zoom or [i.ZOOM] does not work.

ƔWhen [AF Tracking] is set, zoom macro is canceled.

ƔUsing a tripod and [Selftimer] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that is

close to the camera, setting [Flash] to [Forced Flash Off] is recommended.

ƔMoving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures

if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely
reduced.

ƔResolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.

Taking pictures at even closer range [Macro Zoom]
To take even larger images of the subject, setting to [Macro Zoom] enables the subject to
appear even larger than when using [AF Macro].
