Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 8 cm (3.2 in.). Note

The macro mode icon (F) is displayed.

When H is tapped, the menu will close and the monitor 
display will return to shooting mode without changing 
the macro mode setting.

Rotate the zoom control to frame the picture.

The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies 
depending on the zoom position. The camera can focus at 
the shortest distances when F and the zoom indicator 
glow green with the zoom indicator positioned to the left 
(wider angle) of G. 

At the zoom position one step to the right (telephoto) of the maximum wide-angle 
zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 8 cm (3.2 in.) to the lens. At 
the maximum wide-angle zoom position and G zoom position, the camera can focus 
at a distance of 20 cm (8 in.).

When using A (auto) mode, if 

Autofocus mode (A 57) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses 

continuously until focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Therefore, the 
sound of lens drive movement can be heard. 

When using other shooting modes of still pictures, 

Full-time AF is turned on automatically when 

macro mode is turned on.

C

The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the 
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
