Operating Procedure
It is recommended to use the Macro mode when shooting a subject at a distance of
less than 0.5 meter/1.6 feet.
ⅷ In the Macro mode, keep the distance between the camera and subject between about
10 cm/4 in and 0.5 m/1.6 ft. Otherwise, correct shooting may not be possible due to
errors in focus and exposure.
ⅷ When the camera is less than 10 cm/0.4 in from the subject, the shutter will not release
because autofocus is not possible.
ⅷ In macro shooting (
Page 60), shadows may be conspicuous or correct
exposure may not be achieved. Always check your image on the monitor after
macro shooting.
ⅷ Be sure to observe the monitor, not the viewfinder, in the Macro mode.
ⅷ The macro mode is automaticaly canceled when the camera is tured off.
