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.

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.
