Macro Mode
Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.). Note that
the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than 50 cm
(1 ft. 7 in.).

varies depending on the zoom position. At the zoom
position (wide angle position before the G icon)
where the F icon and zoom display glow green, the
camera can focus on subjects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.)
from the lens. At the wide-most zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as
close as 2 cm (0.8 in.) from the lens.

Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode, if
Autofocus mode (A 108) is set to Full-time AF, the camera will
continually focus until the focus is locked when you press the shutter-release button halfway. A
sound will be heard while the camera focuses.
When using other shooting modes,
Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on.

The Macro Mode Setting
The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
