Macro photography
*Wide macro
When you try to take a picture of someone sitting
right next to you, the camera may not be able to
focus properly. In this case, macro mode (wide)
comes in handy. Wide macro allows you to take
close up pictures on a wide angle setting (as close
as 60 cm (2.0 ft) at 40 mm focal length). At the
same time the autofocus flash can be used. It is
convenient to use the zoom memory to memorize
a wide macro setting. And it is particularly
convenient if you usually use macro mode
for snapshots.
*TeIe macro
Use Tele macro mode to make small subjects
appear large. With tele macro mode you can shoot
at a focal length of 100 mm as close as 60 cm
(2.0 ft) from your subject. At this range, the pic-
ture will capture an area of about 15 cm x 22 cm
(5-7/8 x 8-11/16 inches). As with wide macro,
autofocus and flash can be used.
IS/L LENS A-MACRO H.Q. CONVERTER
f = 40 cm (optional)
The IS-1 is compatible with an optional Macro
converter. At 60 cm (2.0 ft) distance-to-subject,
the picture will capture an area of about
6 cm x 9 cm (2-3/8x3-9/16 inches).
The built-in flash can also be used.
