When shooting in dark conditions, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
If you use the viewfinder to take a picture in
Macro mode, the field visible through the
viewfinder does not match the field actually
photographed because the viewfinder and lens
are in different positions. Accordingly, you
should use the LCD monitor to take pictures in
Macro mode.
During macro photography, the following
camera settings are applied:
i The lens is fixed at the wide-angle zoom
setting and only the digital zoom can be used.
i The LCD monitor is automatically switched ON
and cannot be switched OFF.
Setting the Mode dial to “E” allows you to take
close-up shots.
