Focusing Near and Far: The Focus-Mode Button
By default, the camera adjusts focus automatically for subjects 40 cm (16˝) or more from the lens, which
is ideal for snapshots. Under some circumstances, however, you may want to force the camera to focus
on distant objects rather than on the closest object visible in the focus area—for example, when
shooting a distant landscape through a screen of branches or when taking a shot through a window.
Alternatively, you may want the camera to focus on something closer than 40 cm—a close-up shot of
a flower, plant, or business card. The COOLPIX 880 offers focus modes for just these situations. Some
of these modes can be combined with a self-timer to delay shutter release to reduce camera shake or
allow you to appear in your own photographs.
To select the focus mode, press the button.

It is recommended that you frame photographs in the monitor when using macro close-up.
While the flash can be used in macro close-up mode, it may sometimes be unable to light the entire
subject. Take a test picture and verify the results in the monitor.
