Advanced (Recording pictures)
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of
flowers. You can take pictures of a subject as close as 1 cm (0.04 feet) from the lens by
rotating the zoom lever upmost to Wide (1
k
).
As you rotate the zoom lever towards Tele, the distance at which you can take close-up
pictures changes in steps. The maximum distance for close-up pictures is 2 m (6.57 feet)
(4
k
-10
k
).

Tele-macro function
You can take a picture as close as 1 m (3.28 feet) when the zoom is set to 11
k
-18
k
(close
to fully tele) ([
] is displayed on the screen).
It is convenient to take pictures of flowers on the ground standing, or take close-up
pictures of insects that may run away when you get too close.
• Jitter may occur when using the tele-macro function. If you cannot use a tripod, it is
recommended to take a picture in the light condition that will allow shutter speed of 1/60 or
higher to maintain the jitter compensation function.
• If you focus on the subject at 2 m (6.57 feet) or less distant position with tele-macro function
when setting the optical zoom magnification in 18
k
and then rotate the zoom lever for setting
the optical zoom magnification to 11
k
or less, the subject becomes unfocused.
