Canon AUTO ZOOM 1014 - Manual (Page 60)

Macro-Shooting
The Canon Auto Zoom 1014 Electronic has a built-in macro-shooting
system and you can easily take super close-up pictures without using any
accessory. Make use of it in shooting small insects, animals, flowers, or in
titling.
Normally, the zooming ring cannot be turned any further once you reach
7mm. To use macro range, pull out the zooming lever and you will be able
to rotate the zooming ring in the macro range.
Turn the zooming speed switch to the "M" position.
Look through the viewfinder and focus at the subject. As it is rather
difficult to focus with the focusing ring, adjust the focus by rotating the
zooming ring keeping it within the area of "MACRO".
Blurs are especially displeasing in macro pictures. It is advisable to keep
the camera steady by mounting it on a copy stand or on a tripod and to use
the Remote Control Switch 60 in these operations.
• In macro-shooting, it is advisable to select the aperture between f/5.6 and
f/11 by adjusting the intensity of light.
You can get as close as a distance of 189mm (7-7/16") from the film
plane indicator to the subject and 10mm (3/8") from the tip of the lens;
31mm X 22mm area (1-1/4" x 7/8") on the full frame, setting the focusing
ring at infinity, and 190mm (7-1/2") from the film plane indicator to the
subject; 32mm x 23mm (1-17/64" x 29/32") are on the full frame, setting
the focusing ring at 1.5m (5‘).
In macro-shooting, the depth of field becomes extremely shallow. So it is
most advisable to focus carefully and exactly, and to set the diaphragm
aperture as small as possible (at least smaller than f/5.6) with the help of
brighter lights.
EYEPIECE SHUTTER
• Be sure to set the eyepiece shutter in the "C" position to prevent reverse
incoming light when the eye is not against the eyepiece. Otherwise, direct
light may enter from the eyepiece and cause ghost images on the film.
