The macro selector switch (22) cannot be operated unless the zooming ring (9) is between 180mm, and 300mm. Always make sure to align the zoom ring between 180mm and 300mm before operating the macro selector switch.
When in the macro photography mode, the zoom ring can only be rotated over the range of 180- 300mm.
When in the macro photography mode, the focusing ring rotates continuously from infinity to the minimum focus distance of 0.95m.
The maximum magnification ratio in the macro photography mode is 1:2 (f=300mm, 0.95m)
Cancellation of Macro Photography
First, check that the focusing ring (8) is aligned to 1.5m or farther (1.5 - infinity). Next, slide the macro selector switch (22) from the Macro position to the normal position. The macro photography mode is now cancelled.
The macro selector switch (22) cannot be operated unless the focusing ring (8) is set to a dis- tance between 1.5m and infinity. Always make sure to align the focus ring is set between 1.5m and infinity before operating the macro selector switch.
