If you are shooting a subject at a close distance, and if the subject cannot be easily focused within the normal shooting range, switching the normal mode to the [Macro] () mode will make it easier to focus on the subject.
Note:
The distance of each focusing range is as follows (from the end of the lens): If you shoot beyond the following ranges, the subject may be out of focus.
- [Normal] () : 5 cm (2.0 in.) - infinity (W)* / 30 cm (12 in.) - infinity (T)**
- [Macro] () : 5 - 50 cm (W)*, 30 - 50 cm (T)** (2.0 in. - 1.6 ft. (W)*, 12 in. - 1.6 ft. (T)**)
|
* (W): When turning the <Zoom Lever> toward <Wide Angle> () to the maximum wide angle side (Max. wide angle).
** (T): When turning the <Zoom Lever> toward <Telephoto> () to the maximum telephoto side (Max. telephoto).
Attention:
1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.
2. Press the <Macro / Manual Focus> ( / ) button.
3. The following screen appears.
Operate the <directional buttons> left or right to set [Macro] (), then press the <FUNC./SET> () button.
If [Macro] () is indicated on the LCD Monitor, the camera is in [Macro] () mode.
Reference:
Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting with the self-timer to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image.
