Shooting close-ups — Macro
The close-ups (Macro) recording mode is
used when zooming up subjects such as
fl owers or insects. Setting the zoom all the
way to the W side lets you shoot subjects
at distances as close as 10 cm (4 inches).
However, the minimum focus distance
varies according to the zoom position.
Therefore, shooting with the zoom set all
the way to the W side is recommended.
When the zoom is set all the way to the
W side:
Approx. 10 cm (4 inches) from the lens surface
When the zoom is set all the way to the
T side:
Approx. 40 cm (15 3/4 inches) from the lens
surface
• We recommend that you use Flexible Spot AF
(page 66).
• When shooting in the close-ups (Macro) mode,
use the LCD screen. If you shoot using the
fi nder, the range you can see through the fi nder
may differ from the actual recording range.
This is due to parallax.
