Close-up
Sports
Press the subject-program button until
the subject-program indicator points to
the close-up mode.
Use the close-up mode when photographing
small objects like flowers or jewelry. In the
close-up mode, the camera automatically sets
the best possible aperture and shutter speed for
close-up photography. Focusing time can be
longer with macro lenses.
• Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.
• For best results use a macro lens or a macro
capable zoom lens.
• Do not use the built-in flash if your subject is closer than 1.0m (3.3 ft.). The
flash will overexpose the subject.
• At close distances, the lens or len hood may block the flash, creating a
shadow at the bottom of the image (p. 33). The use of an accessory flash is
recommended.
• Make sure the subject is not closer than the minimum focusing distance of
lens. Refer to the lens manual.
Fast shutter speeds are needed to stop action.
In the sports mode, the camera will set the
fastest possible shutter speed and continually
adjust the focus to track moving subjects.
Press the subject-program button until
the subject-program indicator points to
the sports mode.
• The camera continues to focus as long as the
shutter-release button is pressed partway
down.
• When using flash, the subject must be within
the flash range. When the subject is out of
range, use flash cancel (p. 36).
• The use of fast film is recommended.
• Mount the camera on a tripod or monopod when using telephoto lenses.
