pointer is under .
Close-Up Mode
Set Close-Up mode when
photographing small objects like
flowers or jewelry. In Close-Up
mode, the camera automatically
sets the best possible aperture
and shutter speed for the picture
you are taking.
Tips
• 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 lens may block the flash, creating a shadow at the
bottom of your image (lens shadowing).
• Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.

Sports Mode
Fast shutter speeds are needed to
stop action. In Sports mode, the
camera will set the fastest possible
shutter speed and continually
adjust the focus to track fast-
moving subjects.
Tips
• The built-in flash is only effective when your subject is within the
flash range.
• Use fast film and keep the focus frame on your subject.
• Mount the camera on a tripod when using telephoto lenses.
• Use spot AF to hold the focus in Sports mode (p52).
