Shooting Close-Ups (Macro); Shooting Far Away Subjects (Infinity) - Canon IXUS 230 HS User Manual

Shooting Close-ups (Macro)

If you set the camera to e, it focuses on close subjects only. The focusing
range is approximately 1 – 50 cm (0.4 in. – 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens at
maximum wide angle (j).
The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
How can I take better close-ups?
Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in [ to prevent the camera from
moving and blurring the image (p. 56).
e will turn gray in the area that displays in the yellow bar underneath the
zoom bar, and the camera will not focus.

Shooting Far Away Subjects (Infinity)

If you set the camera to u, it focuses on far-away subjects only. Set the
camera to u to focus more reliably on far away subjects (3 m (9.8 ft.) or more
away from the camera).
