Solution

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:
  • The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program] ().
  • The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
  • To set the [Macro] (), it is necessary to set the [Shooting Mode] to one of the following modes.

- [Custom] (), [Manual] (), [Aperture Priority] (), [Shutter Speed Priority] (), [Program] ()

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.
