• The macro mode (
A38) is enabled and the camera
automatically zooms to the closest position to the subject
where the camera can shoot.
• The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies depending on the zoom
position. When the zoom is at a position where F and the zoom indicator light in green
(to the left of G), the camera can focus on subjects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.) from the
lens. At the maximum wide-angle position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as
3 cm (1.2 in.) from the lens.
• You can adjust hue within a slider display at the left of the
monitor. Pressing the rotary multi selector H increases the
red hue, and pressing I increases the blue hue. The hue
adjustments are stored in the camera’s memory even after
the camera is turned off.
• AF area mode is set to Manual to enable the focus area to be chosen ( A83). Press the
k button, and then rotate the rotary multi selector, or press H, I, J or K to move the
focus area.
To adjust the following settings, press the
k button to temporarily cancel focus area
