Close-up

Use close-up mode when photographing
small objects like flowers or jewelry. In
close-up mode, the camera automatically
sets the best possible aperture and
shutter speed for close-up photography.
• Focusing time can be longer with macro
lenses.
• For best results in close-up photography use a macro lens or a macro
capable zoom lens.
• Do not use the built-in flash if your subject is closer than 1.0m (3.3 ft.). The
flash exposure will be overexposed. See flash range, p. 36.
• At close distances, the lens or len hood may block the flash, creating a
shadow at the bottom of your image (lens shadowing, p. 36). The use of
an accessory flash is recommended.
• Make sure the subject is not closer than the minimum focusing distance of
lens. Refer to the owner's manual of your lens.
