@We recommend using a tripod, the self-timer (P.35), and flash 'FORCED OFF' (R36).
@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.
IITaking close-up pictures from more distant locations (Tele Macro function)
Zoom to max. T to take close-up pictures of flowers at foot-level, or animals that you
cannot approach, from distances of at least 1 m (3.28 feet). Align focus after zooming
by pressing shutter halfway. Using tripod is recommended as jitter occurs easily.
