[REC] Mode:

Close-up Pictures

This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of

flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 1 cm from the lens by rotating the

zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).

As you rotate the zoom lever towards Tele, the distance at which you can take close-up

pictures changes in steps. The maximum distance for close-up pictures is 1 m.

Note

•

We recommend using a tripod and the Self-Timer.

• We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.

• If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,

the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights up.

• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.

Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the

subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.

• AF Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance

between the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.

• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may

decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.

• If the lens becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, the lens may not be able to focus on the

subject correctly.
