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 (0.16 feet)
from the lens by rotating the zoom ring
upmost to Wide (1k).

• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P51) with AF macro.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the

VQT0X92
2 m (6.56 feet)
2 m (6.56 feet)
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.
• AF Macro gives priority to a subject close
to the camera. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is
more than 1 m (3.3 feet) it takes longer to
focus on it with [AF MACRO] than [AF].
• The available flash range is about 30 cm
(0.98 feet) to 7.4 m (24.28 feet) (Wide).
(When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].)
• We recommend setting the flash to
Forced OFF [ ] when you take 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.
