When the camera is zoomed to the middle optical zoom position, macro
close-up can be used with subjects as little as 2 cm (0.8 in) from the lens.
At zoom positions suited to macro close-up, the macro close-up icon
(
) in the LCD monitor will turn yellow.
It is recommended that you frame photographs in the LCD monitor when
using macro close-up.
While the flash can be used in macro close-up mode, it may sometimes be
unable to light the entire subject. Take a test picture and verify the results
in the LCD monitor.
