Setting the Auto Macro

When [Auto Macro] is on, the focus is adjusted to the macro range (distance to the subject is 10 cm to 60 cm) as necessary, even if the focus mode setting is AF (Standard).

When it is off and the focus mode is set to Standard (=), the AF operates only in the standard range, and focusing is not done in the macro range.

When the focus mode is set to Macro or 1cm Macro, the focus is only adjusted in the respective macro range and is not done in the standard range.

2 Press the four-way controller (5).

The [AF Setting] screen appears.

3 Use the four-way controller (23) to select [Auto Macro]. 4 Use the four-way controller (45) to select O(On)/P(Off).

Setting the =Assist Light (Focus Assist)

The camera automatically emits the focus assist light in dark shooting situations. You can set the light to on or off.

1 Use the four-way controller (23) to select [AF Setting] on the [ARec. Mode] menu.

3 Use the four-way controller (23) to select [Focus Assist]. 4 Use the four-way controller (45) to select O(On)/P(Off).

Looking at the light directly will not create a safety hazard. However, do not look into the emitter from a very short distance since you may feel dazzled.

The camera does not emit the focus assist light depending on the shooting mode or focus mode. Refer to “Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode” (p.220) for details.
