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 1cm (0.04 feet) from the lens by
rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).
Set the focus selector switch to [AF#].
•In AF Macro Mode, [ ] is displayed.
Note
•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.
•We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] (close the flash) when you ta ke pictu res at clo se rang e.
•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 light s.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subjec t is chang ed af t er foc using on t he
subject, it may become difficult to focu s on it again.
•AF Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.
•When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
•If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the
subject correctly.
•It is not possible to set AF Macro Mode in the following cases.
–In all Scene Modes except [3D PHOTO MODE]
