Advanced-Shooting
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to
Wide (1 ×).

Use a tripod and the self-timer for best
results.
When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field)
is significantly narrowed. Therefore,
you will have difficulty in focusing on
the subject if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed after
focusing on the subject.
When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
Macro shooting gives priority to a subject
close to the camera. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is more than 50 cm it takes
longer to focus on it in macro shooting
than normal shooting.
The available flash range is about 30 cm
to 5.9 m (Wide). (This is applied when
you set the ISO sensitivity to [AUTO].)
We recommend setting the flash to
Forced Flash OFF [
v] when you take
pictures at close range.
When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not
a malfunction.
