Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector

Using Macro Mode

This feature is useful when taking close-up pictures of flowers and other small subjects.

• How close you can be to the subject when shooting

Autofocus
When using macro mode in A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode, you can focus without
pressing the shutter-release button halfway by setting Autofocus mode (A37) in the shooting
menu (A36) to Full-time AF.
When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on (except when using O (pet portrait)).
You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.

The Macro Mode Setting
• Macro mode cannot be used when using certain shooting modes. See "List of the Default
Settings" (A69)" for more information.
• A (auto) mode and continuous shooting mode share the same macro mode setting. When using
A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode, the macro mode setting is saved in the camera's
memory even if the camera is turned off.
