Advanced technique for the macro mode
Macro mode can make unique images when used with the
zoom function. For example, shooting a flower at maximum
wide angle in Macro mode allows the camera to bring both
the flower and the background into focus. However, shooting
at maximum telephoto can throw the background out of
focus to make the flower stand out.

(p. 212).
• Always use the LCD monitor to compose images in macro
mode. Shooting with the viewfinder is possible, though
images composed with the optical viewfinder may be off-
center (p. 42).
• When the lens is zoomed out to the wide angle end, the
recordable area is 56 × 42 mm (2.2 in. × 1.6 in.)*

at telephoto end, it is 87 × 65 mm (3.4 in. × 2.6 in.)*

When the zoom is set between the telephoto end and
the wide-angle end, the distance from lens to subject is
the same as when the zoom is set to the telephoto end.

in macro mode.
