The macro mode is used for close-up photographs of
small objects. The built-in flash cannot be used with macro
mode. The use of a tripod is recommended.
Align one of the arrows on the zooming ring with the index
next to the macro switch and slide the switch forward. The
lens must be zoomed to the wide-angle or telephoto
position for the macro switch to engage. The zooming ring
is locked at the wide-angle position. At the telephoto
position, the zooming ring can move slightly to make fine
adjustments to image size.
The macro indicator is displayed in the lower right corner
of the monitors. Make sure the subject is within the macro
focusing range:

Because of the high image magnification, hand holding cameras
during close-up photography is very difficult. When possible, use a
tripod.
Use the Flex Focus Point to specify the area to be in focus.
Because depth of field (the area in focus) is narrow in close-up
photography, using focus lock with off-center subjects can cause
minor errors which are exaggerated at high magnifications.
