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 (0.17 feet) from the lens by
rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k). (AF macro mode)
You can take a picture with the digital zoom up to 3k while maintaining the distance to the
subject for the extreme Wide position [5 cm (0.17 feet)]. (Macro zoom mode)

• Focus range will be 5 cm (0.17 feet) to ¶ during Macro zoom mode regardless of the zoom position.
Note
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
• 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.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range 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.
