„ Shooting Close-ups (Macro)

When using the zoom in macro mode, a yellow bar appears 
below the zoom bar to indicate the range in which you cannot 
use macro mode to shoot the subject.
If the zoom bar enters the yellow bar range, the macro mode 
icon 

 will turn gray. You can still shoot the image, however, 

the shot will be taken as if in standard shooting mode.

To cancel the macro mode, press the 

 button to turn off the 

 or 

 display.

Use this mode to shoot close-ups of flowers or small items.

Image Area at Minimum Shooting Distance from End of Lens to Subject

• Use the LCD monitor to compose close-ups in macro 

mode since images composed with the viewfinder may 
be off-center.

mode (Advanced Guide p. 121).
