If you are shooting a subject at close range, and if the subject cannot be easily focused within the normal shooting range, switching from the normal mode to the [Macro] (  ) mode will make it easier to focus on the subject.
IMPORTANT
- In the following example procedure, the camera's shooting mode has been set to [Program AE] (
 ).
- If the flash fires, vignetting may occur.
- Be careful to avoid damaging the lens.
For information on the shooting distance of each [Focusing Range] and the shooting modes in which [Focusing Range] settings cannot be made, please refer to the table at the end of the page.
1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.
2. Press the <  > ( ) button.
3. Press the < ><  > buttons to choose [Macro] ( ), and then press the <FUNC./SET> (  ) button.
Once the setting is complete, the [Macro] ( ) icon is displayed on the LCD Monitor.
