Off (Flash Override); Macro-Photo Mode - Konica Minolta DIMAGE G400 Manual

Selecting the Flash/Macro Mode

Off (Flash Override)

- Use this mode for places (such as museum) where flash is prohibited, or
when taking a picture of a night view, or taking a picture using indoor lighting.
- The flash will not come on even when it is dark.
• Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower in the dark.
• If the green LED flashes when the shutter button pressed half-way, this is a warning
that the lighting is not sufficient and the resulting picture will be dark.
Shooting Close Up Range

Macro-photo Mode

- Use this mode when you want to be close to the subject.
- If the distance between the camera and the subject is close, there will be a
difference between the image in the viewfinder and the picture that is actually
taken. It is recommended that the LCD monitor be used.
- If you use the TELE zoom button to zoom in fully on the image and then
press the button, the camera switches to Super Macro mode, allowing
you to zoom in even further on the subject.
• Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower when taking close-ups.
• If you use the TELE flash when shooting very close to the subject, the image may
come out too bright. For information about the flash shooting distance, see page
45.
