Taking Close-up pictures
This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking 
pictures of fl owers.
You can take pictures approaching the 
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the 
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to 
Wide (1 ×).
 Focus range
• Use a tripod and the self-timer (P43) for 
best results.
• When the subject is close to the camera, 
the effective focus range (depth of fi eld) 
is signifi cantly narrowed. Therefore, 
you will have diffi culty 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 indication lights.
• Macro mode gives priority to a subject 
close to the camera. Therefore, if the 
distance between the camera and the 
subject is more than 50 cm it takes longer 
to focus on it in macro mode than normal 
picture mode.
• The available fl ash range is about 30 
cm to 5.0 m (Wide). (This is applied 
when you set the ISO sensitivity to 
[AUTO].) We recommend setting the 
fl ash to Forced OFF [
v] 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.
