œ For photography using the viewfinder, press the MACRO button. The LCD monitor will turn
on briefly, and the current focus mode is shown. Press the MACRO button within 5
seconds to select the focus mode.
œ This completes the macro photography setting.
3
Compose the image.
œ You can set the main switch to “MONITOR OFF” and
take pictures using the viewfinder. However, it is
recommended to compose the image while viewing it on
the LCD monitor. Due to the unavoidable misalignment
between the viewfinder and camera lens, as the digital
camera gets closer and closer to the subject, the image
that is actually captured is seen lower and lower in the
viewfinder.
4
Press the shutter release button.
œ The image is captured in the macro photography mode.
When you have finished capturing images, turn off the digital camera.
HINT
œ The shortest distance for taking macro photography is 10cm if the zoom switch is pressed to
