Advanced shooting
Taking close-up pictures (Macro mode)
The macro mode allows you to shoot a subject at a distance of 0.2 - 0.8 m/
0.7 - 2.6 ft.
If you take a close-up picture of a subject at this distance using the normal
shooting mode, it will take more time for the camera to focus on the subject.
Focusing is much faster in macro mode.
