TELE MACRO

This is useful to shoot small subjects, such as flowers or insects. You can blur out backgrounds and the subject stands out clearer.

When you set [TELE MACRO] to [ON]

(), the zoom (p. 22) moves to the top of the T (Telephoto) side automatically and allows for recording subjects at a close distance as follows:

For HDR-HC5E: down to about 37 cm (14 5/8 in.).

For HDR-HC7E: down to about 45 cm (17 3/4 in.).

To cancel, touch [OFF], or zoom to wide- angle (W side).

bNotes

•When recording a distant subject, focusing may be difficult and can take some time.

•Adjust the focus manually ([FOCUS], p. 42) when it is hard to focus automatically.
