'17 Macrophotography
Although conventional macrophotography was possi­
ble only in either wide angle or in telephoto pho­
tography, this camera makes it possible in both.
Telephoto macrophotography is very effective for
photography that requires light or for subjects that
you can't get close to since it enables you to photo­
graph at a distance. Use for shooting small animals
and plants, and observing insects.
Also, wide angle macrophotography is useful for
title shooting and copy work.
The relationship between the distance and the field
size is as the chart shows when the distance scale is
set to
* For macro shooting, use an f/number greater than
f/5.6.
Setting to macrophotography is done by turning the
macro setting lever to either 9 or 45, pulling out
the lever without changing its position, then
turning it to the yellow line area. To release from
macrophotography setting, the lever is simply pushed
back. Focusing is done by turning the macro setting
lever instead of the focusing ring while looking
through the viewfinder.
