Recording pictures (advanced)

Using the Mode Dial

Macro mode

This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to
Wide (1k).

• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P39) in the macro mode.
• When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will
have difficulty in focusing on the subject if
the distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject.
• When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
• The available flash range is about 30 cm
to 4.0 m (Wide). (This is applied when you
set the ISO sensitivity to [AUTO].)
• When you take pictures at close range in
macro mode, the resolution of the
peripheral of the picture may be slightly
decreased. However, this is not a
malfunction.

• You can record smoother motion images
with [30fpsVGA] and [30fpsQVGA].
• You can record motion images for
longer period with [10fpsVGA] and
[10fpsQVGA] although the picture
quality is lower.
• Since the file size of [10fpsQVGA] is
small, it is suitable for e-mails.
• fps (frame per second); This refers to
the number of frames used in 1 second.
