Tele Macro
Using tele macro, the camcorder can focus at a shorter distance (up to
40 cm from the subject at full telephoto), allowing you get closer shots
of small subjects like flowers and insects. This function also adds a
soft focus to the background, so the subject not only looks larger but it
also stands out more.

š
SCN: Underwater] or
[

full telephoto and bring the camcorder up close to the subject.
