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 1 cm (0.03 feet) from
the lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost
to Wide (1M).
As you rotate the zoom lever towards Tele,
the distance from the subject that you can
take close-up pictures increases in steps
up to a maximum of 2 m (6.56 feet). (6M to
11M)
