Selecting the Shooting Mode
Shooting Close Up/Long 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.
• Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower when taking close-ups.
• The self-timer function can be used in conjunction with this function for shooting.
• If you use the flash when shooting very close to the subject, the image may come
out too bright. For information about the flash shooting distance, see page 40.
