• Some settings are not available with certain Shooting modes. Please refer to
Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode
(p. 204).
• Always use the LCD monitor to compose images in macro mode. Shooting with
the viewfinder is possible, though, the parallax phenomenon may cause images
composed with the optical viewfinder to be off-center.
• When the lens is zoomed to the wide angle end, the recordable area is
approximately 74 x 54 mm (2.9 x 2.1 in.) at the closest focal distance, and at
telephoto end, it is approximately 55 x 41 mm (2.2 x 1.6 in.), roughly the size
of a business card. If optional Close-up Lens 250D 58mm (p. 184) is used in
macro mode, the recordable area is approximately 37 x 27 mm (1.5 x 1.1 in.) at
maximum telephoto.
Macro Mode
Use the macro mode to shoot close-ups of subjects in the range of 5 to 50 cm
(0.16 to 1.6 ft.) at wide angle end and 15 to 50 cm (0.49 to 1.6 ft.) at telephoto
end.
