Shooting Close-up
For close-up shots, use the macro mode which allows you to bring the camera as
close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject. For example, you could accurately capture the
details of a flower’s petals, pistils, and stamens.
To set the camera in the macro mode, press and hold
down the macro button
, turn the main dial or sub
dial until you see the macro mark in the control
panel, and then take the picture.
Note
• With the camera set for TELE, you can bring the camera
as close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject to photograph
an area about the size of a business card, or
approximately 76 x 57 mm (3 x 2.3 in.). (

• There is a greater possibility of camera shake spoiling a
picture, so try to steady the camera as much as possible,
or use a tripod.
• Use as fast a shutter speed as possible to prevent the
wind or other movement from causing the subject to blur.
• If you use the flash in some situations, the lens barrel
could cause a shadow in the picture.
• For close up shots, you may find it convenient to pull out
the monitor and compose the picture in the monitor.
