5. Setting for Close-up Shooting
Setting the zoom ring to macro allows for close-up shooting.
After the zoom ring has been set to macro, the zoom ring can only be operated within the macro
range (indicated by the yellow line).
To set the zoom ring back to the normal zoom range, slide the macro switch (zoom ring lock lever)
to MACRO (just as in step 1). While keeping your nger on the lever, rotate the zoom ring toward
the wide end. Release the lever once the zoom ring is set to the normal zoom range.
Magnication refers to the comparison of the size of a subject to the size of its image in the imaging area.
Setting the zoom ring to the macro range allows for close-up shooting (minimum focusing distance of 20 cm) up to a
maximum magnication of 0.7x. The focusing distance refers to the distance between the subject and imaging area.
In addition, the distance between the end of the lens and the subject (working distance) is approximately 3 cm.
