Taking Close-up
Pictures
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of
a subject as close as 5 cm (2 inches) from
the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost
to Wide (1
M
).

Focus range
• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P42) in macro mode.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on
it again.
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
• Macro mode gives priority to a subject
close to the camera. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is more than 50 cm (
1’ 7
11
/
16
’’
) it
takes longer to focus on it in macro mode
than normal picture mode.
• The available flash range is about 60 cm
(2 feet) to 4.0 m (13 feet) (Wide).
(When the ISO sensitivity is set to
[AUTO].)
• We recommend setting the flash to
Forced OFF [
] when you take pictures
at close range.
• When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
