Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 27
Using the focus settings
You can use the Macro focus
setting on the camera for taking
close-up pictures.
The Focus button lets you toggle
between the Normal and Macro
focus settings. Normal is the
default focus setting on the camera.
NOTE If the camera is zoomed in past 3.5x when you set the
camera to Macro focus, the camera will automatically
zoom back to 3.5x. See Using zoom on page 33.
NOTE When set to Macro focus, the camera will not take a
picture if it cannot find focus (the focus brackets turn red in
the center of the active display). However, when set to
Normal focus, the camera will still take a picture if it
cannot find focus.
