Note

The focusing range is so small in macro mode that the focus can be lost if the camera is moved. Make sure the camera is firmly positioned by mounting it on a tripod, for example, to keep it steady when shooting.

Light from the flash may appear red in shots taken in flash mode. The subject may also appear white in the resultant shot due to over-exposure.

Since the field of view throught the viewfinder and the shooting range are shifted by a wide margin, take pictures by confirming the shooting range through the LCD or with the camera connected to a TV monitor.
