Recording pictures (advanced)

VQT0Q09
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.16 feet)
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever
upmost to Wide (1k). When you rotate the
zoom lever to Tele, the distance you can
approach varies in stages. The recordable
range can be changed up to 2 m (6.56 feet)
(when the zoom magnification is 11k).

When you rotate the zoom lever upmost to
Tele (12k), you can take pictures
approaching the subject at a distance up to
1 m (3.28 feet) from the lens. (The
tele-macro icon [ ] appears.) It is
convenient when taking close-up pictures
of flowers blooming near the ground while
standing up or when taking close-up
pictures of insects from a distant position.
• We recommend using a tripod.
• When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field) is
significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will
have difficulty in focusing on the subject if
the distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after focusing on the
subject.
• In the tele macro mode, the depth of field
is extremely narrowed and camera jitters
occur easier than usual. Therefore, when
you cannot use a tripod, we recommend
taking pictures under the brightness in
which the aperture value is set to F4.0 or
larger and the shutter speed is set to
1/125th or faster to keep the depth of field
and the performance of the stabilizer
function.
• When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
• The available flash range is about 30 cm
(0.98 feet) –4.5 m (14.8 feet) (Wide). (This
is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity
to [AUTO].)
• If you focus on the subject at 2 m (6.56 m)
or less distant position with tele-macro
function when setting the optical zoom
magnification in 12k and then rotate the
zoom lever for setting the optical zoom
magnification to 11k or less, the subject
becomes unfocused. In this case, press
the shutter button halfway or operate the
camera to focus on the subject again.
• When you take pictures at close range in
macro mode, the resolution of the
peripheral of the picture may be slightly
decreased. However, this is not a
malfunction.
