Shooting Close-up

For close-up shots, use the macro mode which allows you to bring the camera as

close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject. For example, you could accurately capture the

details of a flower’s petals, pistils, and stamens.

To set the camera in the macro mode, press and hold

down the macro button

, turn the main dial or sub

dial until you see the macro mark

in the control

panel, and then take the picture.

Note

• With the camera set for TELE, you can bring the camera

as close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject to photograph

an area about the size of a business card, or

approximately 76 x 57 mm (3 x 2.3 in.). (➞ 42)

• There is a greater possibility of camera shake spoiling a

picture, so try to steady the camera as much as possible,

or use a tripod.

• Use as fast a shutter speed as possible to prevent the

wind or other movement from causing the subject to blur.

• If you use the flash in some situations, the lens barrel

could cause a shadow in the picture.

• For close up shots, you may find it convenient to pull out

the monitor and compose the picture in the monitor.

• For best results in close-up shots, you may want to use

the optional Macro Extension Lens Pro (MCON-35).

multiple exposures at pre-set intervals to capture the stages

of a flower blooming, or other slow changes over a long

period.
