Macro Lites
The Macro Lites cast shadows from the camera
●
●
and lens onto the subject during close-up (macro)
photography to facilitate shooting and improve the
end result. They are not designed to shine sufficient
light on subjects when shooting in dark locations.
More battery power is consumed when the
●
●
Macro Lites are in use than when they are
not in use, which will reduce the number of
photographs that can be taken and the amount
of time that videos can be filmed.
The illumination status of the Macro Lites will be
●
●
saved if they have turned off automatically after
30 seconds has elapsed. Press the Macro Lite
ON button to reactivate them. This will cause the
Macro Lites to be illuminated at the same level
as before they were extinguished.
The illumination status will not be saved if the camera
●
●
is turned off and the Macro Lites extinguished.
There are cases in which the Macro Lites will be
●
●
extinguished when the camera's power-saving
function (Auto Power Off) turns off the power,
even when they are illuminated. When this
occurs, the illumination status will not be saved.
Depending on the camera used, there are times
●
●
when the Macro Lites will not illuminate even
after pressing the Macro Lite ON button during
Auto Power Off.
There are cases in which the Macro Lites will be
●
●
extinguished for short periods of time during operations
and when illuminated if image replay, menu display,
movie/still image switching and other camera settings
are amended. The illumination status will not be saved
in this case. Check the illumination status of the Macro
Lites immediately prior to taking photographs.
If AF or MF is selected using the focus mode switch
●
●
while the Macro Lites are illuminated, the Macro Lites
may turn off for a short period of time. The illumination
status of the Macro Lites will be saved in this case.
There are cases in which the Macro Lites will not
●
●
be illuminated for several seconds after the lens
has been attached to the camera.
In order to illuminate the Macro Lites
●
●
continuously during interval shooting, set the
shooting interval within 30 seconds.
In order to illuminate the Macro Lites
●
●
continuously during time-lapse shooting, set the
shooting interval within 10 seconds.
After pressing the shutter button halfway, don't
●
●
change the Macro Lite status when shooting.
Since pressing the shutter button halfway locks the
exposure*, it may not be possible to shoot in standard
exposure if the Macro Lite status has changed.
The Macro Lites will be concealed when the hood
●
●
is attached, so don't forget to switch them off.
* Differs according to the camera's photometry and AF settings.
For details, please check your camera's instruction manual.
