Macro Mode

that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than
50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.).

The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position. The camera can focus at
the shortest distances when F and the zoom indicator
glow green with the zoom indicator positioned to the left
(wider angle) of G.
At the zoom position one step to the right (telephoto) of the maximum wide-angle
zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 8 cm (3.2 in.) to the lens. At
the maximum wide-angle zoom position and G zoom position, the camera can focus
at a distance of 20 cm (8 in.).
C
Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A 57) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses
continuously until focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Therefore, the
sound of lens drive movement can be heard.
When using other shooting modes of still pictures, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when
macro mode is turned on.
C
The Macro Mode Setting
The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
