Procedure for using 
Macro Mode
Use the macro mode to shoot close-ups of subjects when the distance from the tip of the lens to the subject is in the following range (varies according to the zoom position):
| Zoom Position (35mm film equivalent) |
Distance to the subject
|
| Wide angle end 63 mm |
10 - 50 cm (3.9 in. - 1.6 ft.) |
| 63 - 90 mm |
30 - 50 cm (1.0 - 1.6 ft.) |
| 90 mm telephoto end |
Macro shooting not available |
* The zoom position appears in 35mm film equivalent values.
1. Press the button.
2. Shoot the image.
- Shooting procedures are the same as for the
Mode.
- When you turn the zoom ring, the zoom bar accompanied by the yellow bar under it appears. The yellow bar shows the zoom range in which you cannot shoot the subject in Macro mode. If the zoom bar enters the yellow bar range, the macro mode icon will appear in gray after the zoom bar disappears. You can still shoot the image, however, the macro mode is canceled.
In macro mode, the correct image brightness sometimes cannot be obtained with flash photography. Please set the ND filter to [On] and use the separately sold Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX for flash photography in the macro mode. Use the Av or M mode and set the aperture to a higher value as required by the shooting conditions.
- Use Super Macro mode to get even closer to the subject.
