When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [AF Macro] (
) enables you to take 
pictures at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 3 cm (0.10 feet) for 
max. W).

“Tele macro” function
“Tele macro” operates automatically when Optical or Extra Optical Zoom ratios are close 
to the maximum T setting (16x or above for Optical Zoom). The focus can be aligned for 
distances as close as 1 m (3.28 feet). (
 changes to 
)
 
It may take some time until 
distant subjects come into focus.
 
In [Macro Zoom], higher magnification results in lower picture quality.
 
When [Macro Zoom] is set, Extra Optical Zoom or [i.ZOOM] does not work.
 
When [AF Tracking] is set, zoom macro is cancelled.
 
Using a tripod and [Selftimer] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that is 
close to the camera, setting [Flash] to 
 [Forced Flash Off] is recommended.
 
Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures 
if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely 
reduced.
 
Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
 Taking pictures at even closer range [Macro Zoom]
To take even larger images of the subject, setting to [Macro Zoom] enables the subject to 
appear even larger than when using [AF Macro].
