R Zooming In on Close Subjects
(Digital Macro)
You can zoom in on subjects and take pictures while close to them. The
possible shooting range is approximately 5 – 50 cm (2.0 in. – 1.6 ft.) (when
moving the zoom lever to the maximum wide angle side as on p. 63) from
the end of the lens, however, you can shoot zooming in even closer to the
subject using the digital zoom.
Using the digital zoom may cause images to come out rough depending on
the recorded pixels (p. 68).
