Taking close-up pictures (macro/super macro mode) Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (W: 8 cm/3.2" to 60 cm/23.6", T: 60 cm/23.6" to 120 cm/47.2"). However, in macro mode focusing is performed quickly. & When the optical zoom lever is at the maximum wide position and you are as close as 8 cm/3.2" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with a 9.0 × 6.6 cm (3.5" × 2.6") subject. % This mode lets you shoot from as close as 2 cm/0.8" to your subject. Subjects measuring approximately 3.4 × 2.5 cm (1.3" × 1.0") can be captured on the monitor. In the % mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of the zoom is fixed automatically and cannot be changed. 3 Basic shooting functions & % Mode dial Top menu [MODE MENU] [CAMERA] [&] [OFF g"Menus" (P.17) • Except in n mode, the setting can be made in the same way by selecting Top menu [&] [OFF TIPS The subject appears in shadow when the super macro mode is used. → The auto focus may not be able to maintain the correct focus.
