Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Macro Mode
Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 8 cm (3.2 in.). Note
that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than
50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.).
1 Press the multi selector p (macro mode).
The macro menu is displayed.
2 Press the multi selector H or I to choose ON
and press the k button.
The macro mode icon (F) is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button
within a few seconds, the selection will be canceled.
3 Rotate the zoom control to frame the picture.
• The closest distance at which the camera can focus
varies depending on the zoom position. The camera
can focus at the shortest distances when F and the
zoom indicator glow green with the zoom indicator
positioned to the left (wider angle) of K.
• At the zoom position one step to the right (telephoto)
of the maximum wide-angle zoom position, the
camera can focus on subjects as close as 8 cm (3.2 in.) to the lens. At the maximum
wide-angle zoom position and K zoom position, the camera can focus at a distance
of 20 cm (8 in.).
C Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode, if Autofocus mode (A 48) is set to Full-time AF, the camera focuses
continuously until focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Therefore, the
sound of lens drive movement can be heard.
When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on.
C The Macro Mode Setting
The macro mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
