•We recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P47) in macro mode.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) 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.
•In tele macro mode, the depth of field is
narrowed and camera jitter occurs easier
than usual. Therefore, when you cannot
use a tripod, we recommend taking
pictures with a brightness equivalent to
having the aperture value set to F4.0 or a
higher number and the shutter speed is
set to 1/125th of a second or faster to
keep the depth of field and the
performance of the stabilizer function.
•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.
•AF Macro gives priority to a subject close
to the camera. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is
more than 1 m (3.3 feet) it takes longer to
focus than in program AE mode [ ].
•The available flash range is about 30 cm
(0.98 feet) to 6 m (19.7 feet) (Wide).
(When the ISO sensitivity is set to
[AUTO].) We recommend setting the flash
to Forced OFF [ ] when you take
pictures at close range.
•If you focus on the subject at 2 m
(6.6 feet) 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.
•When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
