Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 3 cm (1.2 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 p (macro mode).
• The macro menu is displayed.

and press the k button.
