Taking close-up pictures
(Continued)
Recording Mode:
Positioning camera and subject within
accessible range for focus alignment
●
In [MACRO ZOOM], higher magnification results in lower picture quality.
●
When [MACRO ZOOM] is set, Extended Optical Zoom or [i.ZOOM] does not work.
●
[MACRO ZOOM] setting cannot be used while recording in [MULTI ASPECT] Mode.
●
When [AF TRACKING] is set, zoom macro is cancelled.
●
Using a tripod and [SELFTIMER] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that
is close to the camera, setting [FLASH] to
[FORCED FLASH OFF] is recommended.
●
Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures
if subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely
reduced.
●
Resolution may be reduced around the edges of the picture.
Taking pictures at even closer range
[MACRO ZOOM]
To take even larger images of the subject, setting to [MACRO ZOOM] enables the subject
to appear even larger than when using [AF MACRO].

The focus range is identical under the following settings:

[SUNSET], [STARRY SKY], [BEACH], [SNOW], [PHOTO FRAME] in Scene Mode
●
Zoom ratios are approximate.
●
Ranges for focus alignment differ for Scene Modes.
●
Max. W: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to W side (no zoom)
Max. T: Zoom lever turned as far as possible to T side (maximum zoom ratio)
When a subject is too close to
the camera, the picture may not
be properly focused.
