Taking Close-up Pictures
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 1 cm from the lens by rotating the
zoom lever upmost to Wide (1k).
As you rotate the zoom lever towards Tele, the distance at which you can take close-up
pictures changes in steps. The maximum distance for close-up pictures is 2 m (6k-10k).

∫ Tele-macro function
You can take a picture as close as 1 m when the zoom is set to 11k-18k (close to fully
tele) ([ ] is displayed on the screen).
It is convenient to take pictures of flowers on the ground standing, or take close-up
pictures of insects that may run away when you get too close.
•
Jitter may occur when using the tele-macro function. If you cannot use a tripod, it is
recommended to take a picture in the light condition that will allow aperture setting of F4.0 or
above and shutter speed of 1/125 or higher to maintain the jitter compensation function.
• If you focus on the subject at 2 m or less distant position with tele-macro function when setting
the optical zoom magnification in 18
k and then rotate the zoom lever for setting the optical
zoom magnification to 11
k or less, the subject becomes unfocused.
