PICTURES
MACRO MODE
Use Macro mode when taking pictures at distances between 25cm (10")
and 60cm (2ft.). This mode can also be used to take pictures at a distance
of over 60cm, and is useful for taking pictures in bright surroundings, such
as snow-covered mountains on a sunny day.
1
Open the lens barrier.
The camera will turn on in Record

2

the symbol.
To cancel Macro mode, slide the macro
lever back to its original position.
3
Press the button.
The monitor will turn on.

Take the picture by looking at
the monitor.

Caution
• Make sure to slide the macro lever completely.
•
When using the Macro mode, keep the distance between the
camera and the subject at a distance of more than 25cm (10'').
•
If you try to take a picture at a distance of less than 25cm (10''), the
autofocus will not work properly even though the Shutter button is
released.
•
If you use the flash in Macro mode, the brightness may not be
correct and there may be pronounced shadows as a result. Olympus
recommends that you check the picture on the camera’s monitor.
