Macro mode shooting
— Taking close-up pictures
Allows you to shoot close to the subject (no closer than 0.2 m (8 inches)) so
that you can fill the entire frame with your subject while the zoom lever is
pressed to the maximum W position.
When your target subject is at the center of the frame as shown in the right-
side example below, macro mode shooting with the Spot metering (P. 102)
will bring you a better picture.
If you are close to a subject, the picture area in the viewfinder is different from
the picture that the camera actually records (P. 79). For macro mode
shooting, we recommend using the monitor (P. 81).
