Macro mode

This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to
Wide (1k).

• We recommend using a tripod.
• When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field) is
much narrowed. Therefore, you will have
difficulty in focusing on the subject if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after the subject is
focused.
• When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
• The available flash range is about
30 cm – 4.2 m (Wide). (This is applied
when you set the ISO sensitivity to
[AUTO].)
• When you take pictures at close range in
macro mode, the resolution of the
peripheral of the picture may be slightly
decreased. However, this is not a
malfunction.
