You can shoot objects at a distance with maximum magnification as follows.
This is convenient when shooting objects such as a butterfly on a flower as you cannot
approach it too closely. You can shoot objects up to 60 cm from them.
1. Set "FOCUS AUTO/MAN" switch to "AUTO" position.
2. Zoom up the object fully by pressing the "T" side on the power zoom switch. The
object will be auto focused.
NOTES:
• Be careful as the lighting tends to be low when shooting in the above conditions.
• Fix the camera on a tripod.
• Determine the size of the object by moving the camera backward and forward.
• Be sure to release the macro mode after using. If you fail to release the macro mode
before returning to normal shooting, the pictures will be out of focus and Auto-Focus will not
operate.
