Macro mode shooting
— Taking close-up pictures
Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (0.1 m-0.6 m (0.3 ft-
1.9 ft) in the max. W position or 1.0 m-2.0 m (3.2 ft-6.5 ft) in the max. T
position). However, in the
mode focusing is performed quickly. The
(macro) mode allows you to shoot close to the subject (within 0.1 m – 0.6 m
(0.3 ft – 1.9 ft)). With the zoom lever is pressed to the maximum W position,
you can fill the entire frame with your subject.
If the center of the frame (within the AF target mark) is metered when you are
close to the subject and you shoot with the optimal exposure, the picture will
turn out well (Spot m Macro mode).
