Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Macro Mode
Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.). Note
that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than
50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.).
1 Press the rotary multi selector p (macro
mode).
The macro mode menu is displayed.
2 Use the rotary multi selector to choose ON
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.
3 Rotate the zoom control to the zoom position
at which F and the zoom indicator glow
green.
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 11 cm (4.4 in.) from the lens. At the
maximum wide-angle position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.)
from the lens.
Macro mode
C Autofocus
When using A(auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A60) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses
continuously until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. Therefore, the
sound of lens drive movement can be heard.
When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on.
C The Macro Mode Setting
A (auto) mode and continuous shooting mode share the same macro mode setting. When using
A (auto) mode or continuous shooting mode, the macro mode setting is saved in the camera’s
memory even if the camera is turned off.
