Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode
Macro Mode
Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 10 cm (4 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 mode 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 the 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.
The camera can focus on subjects as close as 10 cm (4 in.)
to the lens when zoomed out to the maximum wide-angle position or when zoomed in
one step from the maximum wide-angle zoom position. At the K zoom position, the
camera can focus at a distance of 30 cm (1 ft.).
C Autofocus
When using A (auto) mode and Autofocus mode (A 50) is set to Full-time AF, the camera
continuously adjusts the focus until the shutter-release button is pressed halfway to lock the focus.
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.
