Advanced (Recording pictures)
Note
•
If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the
heat or lighting from the flash.
• When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even
when you press the shutter button fully.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
[REC] mode: ³²n
Taking Close-up Pictures
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 5 cm (0.17 feet) from the lens by
rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).
Press 4 [#].
• In macro mode, [ ] is displayed. To cancel,
press 4 again.
Take the pictures.
∫ Focus range
¢ The focus range changes in steps.
Note
•
We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [Œ] when you take pictures at close range.
• If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
• Macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is more than 30 cm (0.99 feet) it takes longer to focus on it.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
