• The focus mode (

A40) setting is changed to D (macro

close-up) 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. In the zoom position where the F icon and zoom indicator light in green (wide-
angle position from the K icon), the camera can focus on subjects as close as about 10 cm
(4 in.) from the lens. At the zoom position that is three increments from the maximum wide-
angle position to the telephoto position, the camera can focus on subjects as close as about
1 cm (0.4 in.) from the lens.

• You can adjust hue within a slider display at the left of the

monitor. Press the multi selector

H to increase the red hue,

and

I to increase the blue hue. The hue adjustments are

stored in the camera’s memory even after the camera is
turned off.

A95). Press the

k button, and then press the multi selector H, I, J or K to move the focus area.
