This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
owers.
You can take pictures approaching the subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.17 feet) from the lens
by rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1 ×).

Note
• Use a tripod and the self-timer for best results.
• We recommend setting the ash to Forced Flash OFF [
o
] when you take pictures at close
range.
•
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.
•
When the subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is signicantly narrowed.
Therefore, you will have difculty in focusing on the subject if the distance between the camera
and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject.
• Macro shooting gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet) it takes longer to focus on
it in macro shooting than normal shooting.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
