Taking close-up pictures (Macro mode)
The macro mode allows you to shoot a subject at a distance of 25 - 60 cm/0.8
- 2 ft. You can also use the macro mode to shoot a subject at a distance of
more than 60 cm/2 ft. This camera uses a smaller lens aperture in this mode,
making it useful for taking pictures in bright surroundings, such as snow-
covered mountains in bright sunshine.

• Be sure to slide the macro lever all the way.
• In the macro mode, keep a minimum distance of 25 cm/0.8 ft. between
the camera and the subject. When the camera is too close to the
subject, the shutter will release but the subject will not be in focus.
• If you use the flash in macro shooting, shadows may be conspicuous
and the correct exposure may not be achieved.
