Shooting close-ups — Macro

The close-ups (Macro) recording mode is used when zooming up subjects such as flowers or insects. Setting the zoom all the way to the W side lets you shoot subjects at distances as close as 8 cm. However, the minimum focus distance varies according to the zoom position. Therefore, shooting with the zoom set all the way to the W side is recommended.

When the zoom is set all the way to the W side:

Approx. 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) from the lens surface

When the zoom is set all the way to the T side:

Approx. 25 cm (9 7/8 inches) from the lens surface

Using Spot AF is recommended (page 47).

To shoot at even closer distances than close-ups

(Macro) recording, use (Magnifying glass mode) (page 32).
