• Taking a picture with the digital zoom may cause the picture to appear grainy.
Using macro/super macro mode
Note
• During super macro mode, the zoom is not available.
• If you are close to a subject, the picture in the viewfinder is different from the
area that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, use the
monitor.
• During super macro shooting, the built-in flash is not available.
• You can use an external flash during super macro mode shooting, but
vignetting may occur. Check the recorded image on the monitor (SP-350).
