This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of fl owers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.17 feet)
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever
upmost to Wide (1 ×).

Use a tripod and the self-timer for best
results.
When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of fi eld)
is signifi cantly narrowed. Therefore,
you will have diffi culty in focusing on
the subject if the distance between the
camera and the subject is changed after
focusing on the subject.
When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
Macro shooting gives priority to a subject
close to the camera. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet)
it takes longer to focus on it in macro
shooting than normal shooting.
The available fl ash range is about 50 cm
(1.64 feet) to 6.8 m (22.31 feet) (Wide).
(This is applied when you set the ISO
sensitivity to [AUTO].) We recommend
setting the fl ash to Forced OFF [ ] when
you take pictures at close range.
When you take pictures at close range,
the resolution of the periphery of the
picture may decrease slightly. This is not
a malfunction. •
