Shooting Close-ups (Macro) You can shoot an object at a close distance or even shoot extreme close-ups of it. The focusing range is approximately 3.0 - 50 cm (1.2 in. - 1.6 ft.) from the end of the lens at maximum wide angle (j). Choose e. z After pressing the q button, press the qr buttons to choose e, then press the m button. X Once set, e will appear on the screen. The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires. How can I take better close-ups? Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting in Î to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 61). e will turn gray in the area that displays in the yellow bar underneath the zoom bar, and the camera will not focus. Shooting Far Away Subjects (Infinity) When it is difficult to focus because your shot contains subjects that are both near and far, you can change the focusing range to focus more reliably on far away subjects (approx. 3.0 m (9.8 ft.) or more from the camera) only. Choose u. z After pressing the q button, press the qr buttons to choose u, then press the m button. X Once set, u will appear on the screen. 91
