Photograph flowers, insects and other small objects at close
range.
• Macro mode (A 33) is enabled and the camera
automatically zooms to the closest position at which it can
focus.
• 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 K.
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 K zoom position, the camera can focus at a
distance of 20 cm (8 in.).
• AF area mode is set to Manual (A 44). Choose the focus area in which the camera
focuses.
Press the k button or press the multi selector H, I, J, or K, to select a different focus
area. Press the k button again to lock the selected focus area. Flash mode and exposure
compensation settings can be adjusted and the self-timer can be enabled while the
focus area is locked. Press the k button to choose the focus area in which the camera
focuses.
• The camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway.
• As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, hold the camera steadily.
