[Macro] - Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10K Operating Instructions Manual

Advanced

[MACRO]

This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers.
(The distance from the subject that you can
take close-up pictures differs depending on
the lens you are using.)
[NORMAL MACRO]
Priority is given to focusing on a subject
close to the camera.
[I.ISO MACRO]
The camera senses the movement of the
subject and sets the optimum ISO
sensitivity to prevent subject blur.
(Intelligent ISO sensitivity control)
[CREATIVE MACRO]
You can change the aperture value (P39)
with the [NORMAL MACRO] setting.
¢ Intelligent ISO sensitivity control is
activated when taking pictures with
Live View only.

• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer in macro mode.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on
it again.
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
• If [LIVE VIEW AF] is set to contrast AF
when taking pictures with Live View,
priority is given to a subject close to the
camera so it takes longer to focus when
taking pictures of a distant subject.
• The available flash range is about 2.0 m to
5.5 m (Wide). (When the ISO sensitivity is
set to [AUTO].) We recommend setting the
flash to Forced OFF [
pictures at close range.
• When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
• If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints
or dust, the lens may not be able to focus
on the subject correctly.
• Digital zoom cannot be used.
