Shooting close-ups
–
Macro
For close-ups of subjects like flowers or
insects, shoot using the macro feature. You
can shoot subjects approaching up to 2 cm
(
13
/
16
inches) when the zoom is set to its W-
end. However, the available focus distance
depends on the zoom position. We
recommend that you set the zoom to its W-
end during shooting.
When the zoom is set all the way to
the W side:
Approx. 2 cm (
13
/
16
inches) from the end of
the lens
When the zoom is set all the way to
the T side:
Approx. 60 cm (23
5

inches) from the end
of the lens
