Taking close-up pictures
(Continued)
Recording mode :
Positioning camera and subject within
accessible range for focus alignment
●
In [MACRO ZOOM], higher magnification results in lower picture quality.
●
When zoom macro is set, Extra optical zoom or iA Zoom does not work.
●
[MACRO ZOOM] setting cannot be used while recording in [MULTI ASPECT] mode.
●
We recommend using a tripod, [SELFTIMER], or setting [FLASH] to
[FORCED
FLASH OFF].
●
Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if
subject is close to camera, due to margin for focus alignment being severely reduced.
●
Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
Taking pictures at even closer range [MACRO ZOOM]
To take even larger images of the subject, setting to [MACRO ZOOM] enables the subject
to appear even larger than when using [AF MACRO].

Zoom ratios are approximate.
●
Ranges for focus alignment differ for scene modes.
●
Max. W: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to W side (no zoom)
Max. T: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to T side (maximum zoom ratio)
When a subject is too close to
the camera, the picture may not
be properly focused.
