Panasonic DMC-LS60 User Guide

VQT1C63

This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking 
pictures of fl owers.
You can take pictures approaching the 
subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.16 feet) 
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever 
upmost to Wide (1 ×).

■ Focus range

• Use a tripod and the self-timer (P43) for 

best results.

• When the subject is close to the camera, 

the effective focus range (depth of fi eld) 
is signifi cantly narrowed. Therefore, 
you will have diffi culty in focusing on 
the subject if the distance between the 
camera and the subject is changed after 
focusing on the subject.

• 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.

• Macro mode gives priority to a subject 

close to the camera. Therefore, if the 
distance between the camera and the 
subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet) it 
takes longer to focus on it in macro mode 
than normal picture mode.

• The available fl ash range is about 30 cm 

(0.98 feet) to 5.0 m (16.40 feet) (Wide). 
(This is applied when you set the ISO 
sensitivity to [AUTO].) We recommend 
setting the fl ash to Forced OFF [

v] 

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.
