Turning the Flash On
You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The flash range is
approximately 30 cm – 3.0 m (12 in. – 9.8 ft.) from the end of the lens (when
the zoom button is pressed toward j and held until the lens stops moving,
which is the maximum wide angle setting of the lens), approximately 30 cm –
2.0 m (12 in. – 6.6 ft.) (when the zoom button is pressed toward i and held
until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum telephoto setting of the
lens).
Choose h.
After pressing the r button, press the qr
buttons to choose h, then press the m
button.
X Once set, h will appear on the screen.
Shooting Close-ups (Macro)
You can shoot an object at a close distance or even shoot extreme close-
ups of it. The shooting range (focusing zone) is approximately 1 – 50 cm
(0.4 in. – 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens (when the zoom button is pressed
toward j and held until the lens stops moving, which is the maximum wide
angle setting of the lens).
Choose e.
After pressing the q button, press the qr
buttons to choose e, then press the m
button.
X Once set, e will appear on the screen.
The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
How can I take better close-ups?
Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in Î, to prevent the
camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 68).
You can reduce the AF frame size when you want to focus on a specific
portion of the subject (p. 73).
