Close-up Shooting (Macro Mode)

Macro photography allows you to take a close-up picture of a subject. Macro
mode is recommended for taking pictures at a distance of less than 24cm (9.5
inches) from the subject.

q

Set the mode dial to one of the
following [

] and press

the button.

The mark will be displayed on the LCD
monitor.

Note

• Macro shooting is canceled when

you press the

button again, when

you set the mode dial to another
mode, or when you turn the camera
off.

w

Bring the camera close to the subject
and decide the composition of the
picture. Press the shutter release
button lightly to set the focus.

e

Press the shutter release button to
shoot the image.

Important

Note

• The focusing range is so small in macro mode that the focus can be

lost if the camera is moved. Make sure the camera is firmly positioned
by mounting it on a tripod, for example, to keep it steady when
shooting.

• As there is a wide margin between the field of view through the

viewfinder and the shooting range, check the shooting range on the
LCD monitor or with the camera connected to a TV.

Tips

Shutter release button

The optional remote control unit is convenient for when the camera
is mounted on a tripod or similar device and the shutter release
button is difficult to press.

Note

• The flash will not fire in macro mode.
