Selecting the Shooting Mode (Cont’d)
Shooting Close Up/Long Range
Macro-photo Mode
- Use this mode when you want to be close to the subject.
- If the distance between the camera and the subject is close, there will be a
difference between the image in the viewfinder and the picture that is actually
taken. It is recommended that the LCD monitor be used.
• Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower when taking close-ups.
• The self-timer function can be used in conjunction with this function for shooting.
Focus Distance Shooting Distance
Wide-Angle 0.1m (0.3ft) to ∞
Telephoto 0.5m (1.6ft) to ∞
Distant View Mode
- Use this mode when shooting a distant subject, such as scenery or buildings.
• Always use a tripod.
• The flash will not come on.
• The self-timer function can be used in conjunction with this function for shooting.
Using the Self-Timer
Self-Timer Mode
- Use a tripod.
- When the shutter button is pressed, the self-timer LED comes on, and
after 10 seconds, a picture will be shot.
• If you wish to cancel the self-timer function, close the lens cover.
• After the picture is taken, the mode will be cancelled. If you wish to use the self-
timer repeatedly, set the mode every time you take a picture.
• The activation time for the self-timer can be set at “3 Seconds” by using the set-up
menu (p.94).
