The focus mode (
A
40) setting is changed to
D
(Macro close-
up) and the camera automatically zooms to the closest position
at which it can focus.
• When the F mark on the monitor lights in green (when the zoom indicator is to the wide-
angle side of the K icon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 2 cm (0.8 in.)
from the lens. The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the
zoom position.
• AF area mode is changed to Manual to enable the focus area to be chosen (A84). Press
the k button, and then rotate the rotary multi selector, or press H, I, J or K to move
the focus area. When the focus area position is set by pressing the k button, the flash
mode, self-timer or exposure compensation settings can be adjusted.
• The camera continuously focuses using autofocus until you press the shutter-release
button halfway to lock the focus.
• As pictures are easily affected by camera shake, be sure that Vibration reduction
(A175) is enabled and hold the camera steadily.
