Taking Close-up
Pictures
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 (0.16 feet)
from the lens by rotating the zoom ring
upmost to Wide (1
M).
1 Set the focus switch to
[AF MACRO].
w Focus range
• We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P51) with AF macro.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on
it again.
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is beyond the focus range of
the camera, the picture may not be
properly focused even if the focus
indication lights.
• AF Macro gives priority to a subject close
to the camera. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is
more than 1 m (3.3 feet) it takes longer to
focus on it with [AF MACRO] than [AF].
• The available flash range is about 30 cm
(0.98 feet) to 7.4 m (24.28 feet) (Wide).
(When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO].)
• We recommend setting the flash to
Forced OFF [ ] 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.
