Konica Minolta DiMAGE_A2 Manuel D’Utilisation

The macro mode is used for close-up photographs of small
objects. The built-in flash cannot be used with macro mode. The
use of a tripod is recommended.

Align one of the arrows on the zooming ring with the index next
to the macro switch and slide the switch forward. The lens must
be zoomed to the wide-angle or telephoto position for the macro
switch to engage. The zooming ring is locked at the wide-angle
position. At the telephoto position, the zooming ring can move
slightly to make fine adjustments to image size.

The macro indicator is displayed in the lower right corner of the
monitors. Make sure the subject is within the macro focusing
range:

Because of the high image magnification, hand holding cameras
during close-up photography is very difficult. When possible, use
a tripod.

Use the Flex Focus Point to specify the area to be in focus.
Because depth of field (the area in focus) is narrow in close-up
photography, using focus lock with off-center subjects can cause
minor errors which are exaggerated at high magnifications.
