Note:
When shooting a close-up in Macro mode, use the LCD monitor to compose your shot,
avoiding the off-center parallax phenomenon.
There is not a distinct point (subject range) at which Normal mode is favored over Macro
mode; take in image in both optical modes and compare the results.
After a Macro shot is taken DO NOT FORGET to reset the lens to the normal position.
