Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector

Shooting Features

Using Macro Mode

When using macro mode, the camera can focus on objects as close as 3 cm (1.2

in.) from the front of the lens. This feature is useful when taking close-up pictures

of flowers and other small subjects.

1 Press the multi selector I (p macro mode).

2 Press the multi selector H or I to choose ON

and press the k button.

• The macro mode icon (F) is displayed.

• If the setting is not applied by pressing the k button

within a few seconds, the selection will be canceled.

3 Rotate the zoom control to set the zoom ratio

to a position where F and the zoom indicator

glow green.

• The closest possible shooting distance may vary

according to the zoom position.

• The camera can focus at distance of 9 cm (3.5 in.) at the

zoom position at which F and the zoom indicator

glow green. When the zoom indicator is positioned to the left (wider angle) of K, the

camera can focus on subjects as close as 3 cm ( 1.2 in.) from the lens

B Note on Using the Flash

The flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than 50 cm (1 ft 8 in.).

C Note on Autofocus

When using macro mode in the A (auto) mode, you can focus without pressing the shutter-release

button halfway by setting Autofocus mode (A 52) in the shooting menu (A 51) to Full-time

AF. When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode

is turned on. You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.

C The Macro Mode Setting

• Macro mode cannot be used when using certain shooting modes. See “Features That Can Be Set

Using the Multi Selector” (A 53) for more information.
