Recording

Applicable modes:
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers.
Note
• We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer.
• We recommend setting the flash to [
Œ
] when you take pictures at close range.
• If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera,
the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights up.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
• Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
• Macro Zoom Mode cannot be used in the following cases.
– In [Toy Effect] or [Miniature Effect] in Creative Control Mode
– In 3D Photo Mode
– When [
] is set in [AF Mode]
– When [Burst] is set to [
] or [
]
[Macro Mode]
