Taking close-up pictures (macro/super macro mode)

Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (20 cm/8" to 50
cm/20"). However, in macro mode focusing is performed quickly.

&

When the optical zoom lever is at the maximum wide position and you are as
close as 20 cm/8" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with a 7.0 × 5.3
cm (2.8" × 2.1") subject.

%

This mode lets you shoot from as close as 7 cm/2.8" to your subject. Subjects
measuring approximately 2.7 × 2.0 cm (1.0" × 0.8") can be captured on the
monitor. In the

% mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of

the zoom is fixed automatically and cannot be changed.
