Using the Macro Feature to Take Close-ups
You can use the camera’s macro function to take
pictures from as close as 15 centimeters (6 inches) to
your subject. Follow these steps.
1. Turn the camera on and slide the monitor switch
to the
VIEW position. A live preview appears on
the LCD monitor.
2. Press the / macro/timer button on the top of
the camera until the macro icon appears on the
display panel at the top of the camera. To use the
macro feature and the timer together, press the
/
macro/timer button until the macro and
timer icons appear together on the display panel.
3. Center your subject on the monitor.
4. Follow the instructions from step 4 of “Taking
Pictures with the Viewfinder” on page 2-1.
Note:
To take macro close-ups in low light conditions, use a tripod
and the timer (see the next section), and disable the flash (as
described on page 2-5). Otherwise, your pictures may
appear blurry and washed-out.
Taking Pictures with the Timer
Setting the timer creates a ten-second delay between
the time you press the shutter button and the actual
image capture. This allows you to take a picture of
yourself.
Follow these steps to take a picture with the timer.
1. Place the camera on a flat surface or on a tripod.
The tripod threads are located on the bottom of
your camera.
2. Turn on the camera and wait until the status light
turns green.
3. Press the / macro/timer button until the
timer icon appears on the display panel at the top
of the camera. To use the timer and the macro
feature together, press the
/ macro/timer
button until the timer and macro icons
appear together on the display panel.
4. Press the shutter button. The red timer light on the
front of the camera comes on, and the
timer
icon on the display panel begins flashing. About
two seconds before the camera takes the picture,
the red timer light begins flashing.
