If you set the camera to e, it focuses on close subjects only. The focusing
range is approximately 0 – 50 cm (0 – 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens at
maximum wide angle (j).
Choose e.
After pressing the q button, press the qr
buttons or turn the 5 dial to choose e,
then press the m button.
Once set, e will appear on the screen.
Shooting Close-ups (Macro)
The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
Be careful to avoid damaging the lens.
How can I take better close-ups?
Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in [ to prevent the camera from
moving and blurring the image (p. 54).
e will turn gray in the area that displays in the yellow bar underneath the
zoom bar, and the camera will not focus.
