Shooting close-ups — Macro

The close-ups (Macro) recording mode is
used when zooming up subjects such as
flowers or insects. Setting the zoom all the
way to the W side lets you shoot subjects at
distances as close as 6 cm (2 3/8 inches).
However, the minimum focus distance
varies according to the zoom position.
Therefore, shooting with the zoom set all
the way to the W side is recommended.

When the zoom is set all the way to
the W side:

Approx. 6 cm (2 3/8 inches) from the lens
surface

When the zoom is set all the way to
the T side:

Approx. 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) from the
lens surface
