OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS
Using the Macro Mode
Use the Macro mode when you need to focus on close up
subjects. The following shows the approximate focus range
in the Macro mode.
Range: 17cm to 50cm (6.7˝ to 19.7˝)
• Using optical zoom causes the above range to change.
1.
In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2.
Select the “REC” tab, select “Focus”, and
then press [
].
3.
Use [
] and [] to select “
 Macro”.
4.
Press the shutter button to record the image.
• The focus and image recording operations are
identical to those in the Auto Focus mode.
 NOTE 
• When the Macro mode cannot focus properly
because the subject is too far away, the camera
automatically switches to the Auto Focus range
(page 72).
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation
(page 57) while recording with the Macro mode, a
value will appear on the monitor screen as shown
below to tell you the focusing range.
Example:   17cm - 50cm
 IMPORTANT! 
• Use of the flash along with the Macro mode can
cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which
can produce unwanted lens shadows in your image.
