Using the Macro Mode
Use the Macro mode when you need to focus on close up
subjects. The following shows the approximate focus range
in the Macro mode.
Range: 10cm to 50cm (3.9˝ to 19.7˝)
• Using optical zoom causes the above range to change.
1.
In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2.
Select the “REC” tab, select “Focus”, and
then press [̈].
3.
Use [̆] and [̄] to select “ Macro”, and
then press [SET].
4.
Press the shutter button to record the image.
• The focus and image recording operations are
identical to those in the Auto Focus mode.
NOTE
• When the Macro mode cannot focus properly
because the subject is too far away, the camera
automatically switches to the Auto Focus range
(page 84).
• Whenever you perform an optical zoom operation
(page 67) while recording with the Macro mode, a
value will appear on the monitor screen as shown
below to tell you the focusing range.
Example: ȚȚcm - ȚȚcm
* ȚȚ will be replaced by the actual focusing range value.
IMPORTANT!
• Use of the flash along with the Macro mode can
cause the light of the flash to become blocked, which
can produce unwanted lens shadows in your image.
• During movie recording, Macro mode uses fixed
focus that is optimized for macro recording.
