M CLOSE UP
Photograph flowers, insects, and other small objects at close range.
Effect 1: The subject is captured more vividly and clearly.
Effect 2: Background details are softened and shutter speeds are
faster. Optimal for freezing moving subjects such as flowers sway-
ing in the breeze.
• The zoom position is automatically set to wide-angle and the

F icon on the monitor turns green.

• The camera can focus on objects as close as 4 cm (1.7 in.) from the lens at a wide-angle

zoom position.

• Minimum focus distance will vary with the zoom position.
• The camera focuses continuously until the focus is locked by pressing the shutter-release

button halfway.

• Select from 99 areas to focus on in the focus area using the multi selector.

N MUSEUM
Use indoors where flash photography is prohibited (for example, in
museums and art galleries) or in other settings where you do not
want to use the flash.
• Best Shot Selector (P.82) turns on automatically, reducing the

effects of inadvertent camera movement.

sure to obtain permission first.

• In dimly lit surroundings, turn Vibration reduction (P.48) on and hold the camera steady

to prevent camera shake.

O COPY
Provides clear pictures of black and white text or drawings on a
white board or in print. Additionally, use when taking black and
white pictures.

ture.

P SPORTS

scenes.

pressing the shutter-release button halfway.

• While the shutter-release button is fully pressed, the camera

shoots at approximately 1.8 frames per second.
