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 and the
self-timer (P46) 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.
Macro mode 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 on it in macro mode than
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].)
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. In this
case, press the shutter button halfway or
operate the camera to focus on the
subject again.
We recommend setting the flash to
Forced OFF [ ] when you take pictures
at close range.
When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
