Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Macro 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 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 frame the picture.
The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
The camera can focus on subjects as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.)
to the lens when the zoom indicator is positioned to the
left of G, and F and the zoom indicator glow green.
When the zoom indicator is aligned with G, the camera can focus at a distance of 4 cm
(1.6 in.).
C Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A 48) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses
continuously until focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. 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
The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
