• Depending on the brightness and how fast 

the subject is moving, jitter may not be 
avoided.

• The camera may not be able to detect the 

movement of the subject in the following 
cases.
– When the moving subject is small
– When the moving subject is at the edge 

of the screen

– When the subject starts moving the 

instant the shutter button is pressed fully

• To avoid picture noise, we recommend 

decreasing [ISO LIMIT] or setting 
[COL.MODE] to [NATURAL]. (P64)

• The following functions cannot be used.

– [SLOW SHUTTER]
– [D.ZOOM]

This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking 
pictures of flowers. You can take pictures of 
a subject as close as 5 cm from the lens by 
rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide 
(1

k).

∫ Focus range

• We recommend using a tripod and the 

self-timer (P40) in macro mode.

• When a subject is close to the camera, the 

effective focus range (depth of field) is 
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the 
distance between the camera and the 
subject is changed after focusing on the 
subject, it may become difficult to focus on 
it again.

• If the distance between the camera and 

the subject is beyond the focus range of 
the camera, the picture may not be 
properly 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 flash range is about 50 cm 

to 5.4 m (Wide). (When the ISO sensitivity 
is set to [AUTO].) 

• We recommend setting the flash to 

Forced OFF [

] 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.
