How it works Setting When to use it
When the mode dial is set to A-REC or M-REC, the autofocus
mode can be changed using the
button. The
setting changes each time the button is pressed, cycling through the
focus modes in the following order:
NO ICON (AUTO)
Macro Close-up
When using macro close-up, it is recommended that you frame photo-
graphs in the LCD monitor.
Macro close-up can be used at ranges as short as 2cm (0.8in.) when the
camera is zoomed to the middle optical zoom position. When the camera
is zoomed to a position suited to such close-range photography, the macro
icon (
) in the LCD monitor will turn yellow.
While the flash can be used with a focus mode of “Macro Close-up,” it may
sometimes be unable to light the entire subject. When using the flash, take
a test picture and verify the results in the LCD monitor.
