following: [ , , or ] and

monitor.

the button again.

and press the shutter release button

Important
Note
• The focusing range is so small in macro mode that the focus can be
lost if the camera is moved. Make sure the camera is firmly positioned
by mounting it on a tripod, for example, to keep it steady when
shooting.
• Since the field of view through the viewfinder and the shooting range
are shifted by a wide margin, take pictures by confirming the shooting
range on the LCD monitor or with the camera connected to a TV
monitor.
Tips
Shutter Release Button
The optional remote control unit is useful when the camera is
mounted on a tripod or similar device and the shutter release button
is difficult to press.
Note
• The flash does not fire in macro mode.
