Magnified Close-Up Shooting (Digital Macro)

You can zoom in on close subjects. With the zoom lever set to the maximum wide angle, the possible shooting range is approximately 3 - 10 cm (1.2 in. - 3.9 ft.) from the end of the lens. However, you can zoom in even closer on the subject using the digital zoom.

The digital zoom may cause images to appear coarse at some recording pixel settings.

  • Be careful not to bang the lens against the subject when shooting in macro mode.
