ADVANCED SHOOTING (Cont.)
Macro mode shooting
Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject. However, in the
mode focusing is performed quickly. The
(macro) mode allows you to
shoot close to the subject (within 20 cm – 80 cm (7.8" – 31")). When the
zoom lever is pressed to the maximum W position, you can fill the entire
frame with your subject.
Press the
button repeatedly until
(Macro mode) or
(Spot
mMacro mode) appears.
When
is activated, you can shoot from as close as 2 cm (0.7") to your
subject. In the
mode, normal shooting is also possible.

Exposure Compensation
This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure
setting. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that
the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. You can adjust
b/–2.0 in 1/3 steps.
