Operating Procedure

It is recommended to use the Macro mode when shooting a subject at a distance of
less than 0.5 meter/1.6 feet.

In the Macro mode, keep the distance between the camera and subject between about

10 cm/4 in and 0.5 m/1.6 ft. Otherwise, correct shooting may not be possible due to
errors in focus and exposure.

When the camera is less than 10 cm/0.4 in from the subject, the shutter will not release

because autofocus is not possible.

In macro shooting (

Page 60), shadows may be conspicuous or correct

exposure may not be achieved. Always check your image on the monitor after
macro shooting.

Be sure to observe the monitor, not the viewfinder, in the Macro mode.

The macro mode is automaticaly canceled when the camera is tured off.
