C Macro Close-up
In shooting modes such as scene modes that cannot use the Autofocus mode (A69), Full-time
AF may be turned on and the camera will adjust focus even if the shutter-release button is not
pressed halfway when D (macro close-up) is set. You may hear a sound of the camera focusing.
A
Autofocus
The camera automatically adjusts the focus according to the distance to the subject.
Use when the distance from the subject to the lens is 50 cm (1 ft 8 in.) or more, or
2.0 m
(6 ft 7 in.) or more at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
D
Macro close-up
Use for close-ups of flowers or small objects.
How close you can be to the subject while shooting depends on the zoom position.
At the zoom position where F and the zoom indicator light in green, the camera can
focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm (4 in.) or farther from the lens. At the G
zoom position, it can focus on subjects as close as about 1 cm (0.4 in.) or farther from
the lens.
B
Infinity
Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting landscapes.
The camera automatically adjusts the focus near infinity.
• The camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects.
• The flash does not fire.
E
Manual focus
The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of 1 cm (0.4 in.) to infinity
from the lens (E2). The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
• This function can be used when the shooting mode is j, k, l, m, M, special
effects mode or Sports scene mode.
