This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking 
pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of 
a subject as close as 5 cm (0.16 feet) from 
the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost 
to Wide (1

k).

∫ Focus range

• We recommend using a tripod and the 

self-timer (P40) 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.

• 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 flash range is about 60 cm 

(1.97 feet) to 4.0 m (13.1 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.
