When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the
zoom ring to compose pictures. The following restrictions apply in super macro mode: the lens must
be zoomed all the way out (at other zoom positions, z is displayed) and the flash can not be used.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.
• Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (P 87).
• Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject.
• If macro mode is set while display mode is set to INFO DISPLAY or LCD SWITCHED OFF, display mode auto-
matically turns to STANDARD (P 6).
• Use of the LCD monitor is recommended to avoid parallax at close range.
• The camera can focus at short range when macro mode is not set, but the time needed to focus increases.
• Rotate the zoom ring until the zoom indicator turns white when using G (P 19).
