• We recommend using a tripod and the

self-timer (P41) in macro mode.
• When a subject is close to the camera, the
effective focus range (depth of field) 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.
• 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.
• Macro mode gives priority to a subject
close to the camera. Therefore, if the
distance between the camera and the
subject is more than 30 cm (0.98 feet) it
takes longer to focus on it in macro mode
than normal picture mode.
• The available flash range is about 30 cm
(0.98 feet) to 3.7 m (12.1 feet) (Wide).
