Macro Close-Up (Continued) When the camera is zoomed out to or past the middle optical zoom position, the macro close-up icon ( ) in the monitor will turn yellow, indicating that macro close-up can be used to focus on objects as little as 2 cm (0.8˝) from the lens. The camera may be unable to focus at very short ranges when zoomed in closer than the middle optical zoom position. To minimize distortion when photographing flat objects such as printed text or business cards, however, we recommend that you zoom the camera in and adjust the range until you find a distance at which focus can be achieved. 77
