Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Macro Mode
Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.). Note
that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than
50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.).

The macro mode menu is displayed.

and press the k button.
The macro mode icon (F) is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button
within a few seconds, the selection will be canceled.

The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
When the zoom is at a position where F and the zoom
indicator glow green (to the left of G), the camera can
focus on subjects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.) from the lens. When the zoom is fully zoomed
out, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.) from the lens.

turned on.
