4. Press the shutter button.
To disable macro photography, slide the focus switch back to
portrait or landscape mode.
Note:
When shooting a close-up in macro mode, use the image LCD
display to compose your shot, avoiding the off-center parallax
phenomenon.
After a macro shot is taken DO NOT FORGET to reset the lens to the landscape or portrait positions.
Flash
The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant the use of flash. You can take an image using a
flash mode suitable to your circumstances. If you change the flash mode, the camera will retain that setting even if the camera is
turned off.
1. Open the lens cover, power on the camera. Make sure the
camera is in Record mode.
2. Press the button repeatedly until the desired flash mode
appears.
3. Compose the image and press the shutter button.
Note:
When switching to a flash mode, it will take several seconds to charge
the flash capacitor. While the flash capacitor is charging, the LED
indicator will blink green and the flash icon will blink red on the LCD
display.
If you will not be using the flash, turn it off. Turning the flash OFF will result in faster camera startup and faster operation
because the capacitor will not be charged needlessly. Turning the flash OFF when not needed will also improve battery life.
