very close to the camera. Press the Left/Macro

Note:
The camera supports seamless AF in Auto/ P-Mode/Av/ Tv/ Foliage with which a greater focus range is achieved
without selecting the focus mode manually.

distance (wide:10cm, Tele:35cm). After completing this Macro scan, if no object is focused in Macro range, then AF
will extend to perform the normal scan.
2.In Auto/ P-Mode/Av/ Tv/ Foliage with no Macro mode
first. If AF can't adjust focus in the first stage, then continues to scan from normal range to the closest focus
distance (Macro mode).
The benefit of seamless AF is that focus point is determined automatically for objects in a greater range. Note that,
however, due to scanning the wider range, longer scanning time may be required.
Setting the Flash Mode
You can choose from four flash modes to suit various lighting conditions.
Press the Up/Flash
screen. The flash setting remains the same for subsequent photos until you change it as described
above.
