Macro mode shooting
— Taking close-up pictures
Usually focusing is slow when you get as close as 0.1 m - 0.8 m (0.3 ft - 2.6
ft) to the subject. However, in the
mode focusing is performed quickly. The
(macro) mode allows you to shoot close to the subject (within 0.1 m - 0.8
m (0.3 ft - 2.6 ft)). With the zoom lever is pressed to the maximum W position,
you can fill the entire frame with your subject.
If the center of the frame (within the AF target mark) is metered when you are
close to the subject and you shoot with the optimal exposure, the picture will
turn out well (Spot metering+Macro mode). T See “Spot metering” (P. 91).
If you are close to a subject, the picture area in the viewfinder is different from
the picture that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, we
recommend using the monitor (P. 77).
