• Keep the following points in mind when taking close-up pictures:
– If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the
camera, the picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights.
– We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.
– We recommend setting the flash to [
Œ
] (close the flash).
– When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on
the subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
– The resolution of the periphery of the picture may decrease slightly. This is not a
malfunction.
