Shooting basics
Taking close-up pictures (Macro mode)
The macro mode allows you to shoot a subject at a distance of 25 - 60 cm/0.8
- 2 ft. You can also use the macro mode to shoot a subject at a distance of
more than 60 cm/2 ft. This camera uses a smaller lens aperture in this mode,
making it useful for taking pictures in bright surroundings, such as snow-
covered mountains in bright sunshine.

your subject on the monitor.

In the macro mode, keep a minimum distance of 25 cm/0.8 ft. between
the camera and the subject. When the camera is too close to the
subject, the shutter will release but the subject will not be in focus.
If you use the flash in macro shooting, shadows may be conspicuous
and the correct exposure may not be achieved.
