• The focus mode (
A40) setting is changed to D (macro
close-up) and the camera automatically zooms to the closest
position to the subject where the camera can shoot.
• The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom
position. In the zoom position where the F icon and zoom indicator light in green (wide-
angle position from the K icon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm
(4 in.) from the lens. At the zoom position that is three increments from the maximum wide-
angle position to the telephoto position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as about
1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.
• You can adjust hue within a slider display at the left of the
monitor. Press the multi selector H to increase the red hue,
and I to increase the blue hue. The hue adjustments are
stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is
turned off.
• AF area mode is set to Manual to enable the focus area to be chosen ( A95). Press the
k button, and then press the multi selector H, I, J or K to move the focus area.
To adjust the following settings, press the
k button to temporarily cancel focus area
selection, and then adjust each setting.
