AF Macro mode 
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 0.16 feet (5 cm) 
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever 
upmost to Wide (1×).

Focus range

• Use a tripod and the self-timer (P44) for 
best results.
• When the subject is close to the camera, 
the effective focus range (depth of field) is 
significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will 
have difficulty 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 indicator lights.
• The available flash range is about 1.97 
feet (60 cm) to 13.5 feet (4.1 m) (Wide). 
(This is applied when you set the ISO 
sensitivity to [AUTO].)
• It is normal for the resolution of the edges 
of pictures taken with [AFw] at short 
distances to be lower.
