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.
IMPORTANT
- The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program AE] (

- The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
The shooting distance of each [Focusing Range] and the shooting modes in which [Focusing Range] settings cannot be made
1. Press the power button to turn the camera on.

Press the <
