Avoiding subject
blurring
(Intelligent ISO)
Taking close-up
pictures
(MACRO mode)
Avoiding subject blurring in darker conditions or with fast-
moving subjects
Detects movement of the subject and sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed
according to the brightness.
Taking close-up pictures of flowers, etc
Set to
Take a picture (P.24)
We recommend using a tripod, the self-timer (P.35), and flash ‘FORCED OFF’ (P.36).
Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if
subject is close to camera, due to margin for focus alignment being severely reduced.
Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
Taking close-up pictures from more distant locations (Tele Macro function)
Zoom to max. T to take close-up pictures of flowers at foot-level, or animals that you
cannot approach, from distances of at least 1 m (3.28 feet). Align focus after zooming
by pressing shutter halfway. Using tripod is recommended as jitter occurs easily.
Set to
Take a picture (P.24)
The maximum level for ISO sensitivity can also be set (P.51, ‘ISO LIMIT’). If the
maximum level is set to ‘800’ or ‘1250’, this will be reduced to ‘640’ when using the
flash.
Subject movement may not be detected if subject is too small, is at the edge of the
screen, or starts to move at the same time as the shutter. (when button is pressed fully).
Blurring may occur depending on the brightness and movement speed.
‘D.ZOOM’ (P.27) and ‘SLOW SHUTTER’ (P.56) cannot be used.
Max. T: Distance of at least 1
m (3.28 feet) from subject

(2 m (6.56 feet) unless max. T)
Max. W: Distance of at
least 5 cm (0.16 feet)

We recommend using a card of at least 10MB/s
(as marked on its packaging, etc).
Only QVGA-format motion pictures can be
recorded to the built-in memory.
Note
Zoom and CONT.AF (P.55)
functions cannot be used during
movie recording.
Not compatible with
MultiMediaCards.
STABILIZER ‘MODE2’ cannot
be used.
Focus range is 5 cm (0.16 feet)
and above for max. W/1 m (3.28
feet) and above for max. T. (2 m
(6.56 feet) unless max. T)
Focus, zoom, and a perture
value are fixed from the onset of
recording.
A maximum of approx. 2 GB can
be recorded in any one session.
To continue recording, press the
shutter button again. Available
recording time is calculated on a
2 GB basis (estimated).
Recording may be terminated
midway, depending on card
type.
