Recording pictures (advanced)
Using the Mode Dial
In economy mode, the camera reduces the
brightness of the LCD monitor and works
as follows to reduce the battery power
consumption. On other operations in this
mode, the camera works the same as the
normal picture mode [
].
Refer to P23 for settings.
Conditions:
• When 15 seconds passed without any
operation.
• When 5 seconds passed without any
operation after taking a picture. (Effective
only when [ECONOMY] on the [SETUP]
menu is set to [LEVEL 2].) (P25)
Operation:
• The message [MONITOR OFF] blinks, the
LCD monitor turns off and then the status
indicator lights.
How to turn the LCD monitor on again:
Press any key.
Power save:
If 2 minutes passed without any operation
in economy mode, the camera is turned off
and the power save mode is activated. To
cancel the power save mode, press the
shutter button halfway or turn the camera
off and then turn it on again.
• The economy mode is not activated in the
following cases (The power save mode is
activated.):
– While the menu screen is displayed
– While the self-timer is set
• When you use the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC2; optional), the power save
mode is not activated.
This mode allows you to take close-up
pictures of the subject, e.g. when taking
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the
subject at a distance up to 5 cm from the
lens by rotating the zoom lever upmost to
Wide (1
k
).

Focus range
• We recommend using a tripod.
• When the subject is close to the camera,
the effective focus range (depth of field) is
much narrowed. Therefore, you will have
difficulty in focusing on the subject if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is changed after the subject is
focused.
• When the camera lens is at a distance
beyond the available range from the
subject, the subject may not be focused
even if the focus indication lights.
• The available flash range is about
30 cm – 4.2 m (Wide). (This is applied
when you set the ISO sensitivity to
[AUTO].)
• When you take pictures at close range in
macro mode, the resolution of the
peripheral of the picture may be slightly
decreased. However, this is not a
malfunction.
