Macro Close-up

When using macro close-up, it is recommended that you frame photo- graphs in the LCD monitor.

Macro close-up can be used at ranges as short as 2cm (0.8in.) when the camera is zoomed to the middle optical zoom position. When the camera is zoomed to a position suited to such close-range photography, the macro icon () in the LCD monitor will turn yellow.

While the flash can be used with a focus mode of “Macro Close-up,” it may sometimes be unable to light the entire subject. When using the flash, take a test picture and verify the results in the LCD monitor.
