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 (1

M). 

w Focus range

• 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 

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.
