NOTE
• When shooting a close-up of the subject, you can compose the picture by using the viewfinder
or the LCD monitor. However, composing the picture using the viewfinder in macro mode may
cause captured images to be off-center due to the parallax phenomenon. We recommend that
you use the LCD monitor instead to compose pictures in this situation.
• After one shot has been taken, the macro mode is automatically turned off.
Using the flash
The flash is designed to fire automatically in dark places. You can select various
flash settings to take pictures in different conditions. If you change the flash setting,
the camera will remain in that setting even if the camera is turned off.
1. Turn the camera on.
2. Turn the mode dial to the
mode or the
mode.
3. Press the button located on top of the cam-
era repeatedly until the desired flash mode
appears.
