Characteristics of Each Scene
A Point and shoot
Images are captured using A (auto) mode ( A 30).
H Shoot close-ups
Use this mode to photograph flowers, insects, and other small
objects at close range.
• The camera automatically zooms to the closest position at
which it can focus.
• The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position. When the zoom is set to a
position where the zoom indicator glows green, the camera can
focus on subjects as close as about 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the front of the protective glass.
When the zoom is at the maximum wide-angle position, the camera can focus on subjects as
close as about 5 cm (2 in.) from the front of the protective glass.
• The camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame. Use focus lock to frame the picture
on an object not in the center of the frame ( A 57).
• The camera focuses even when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway. You may hear
the sound of the camera focusing.
• The flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than 30 cm (1 ft).
