Basic shooting functions
Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (wide-angle: 20 cm/7.9 in.
to 50 cm/19.7 in.; telephoto: 30 cm/11.8 in. to 50 cm/19.7 in.). However, in macro
mode focusing is performed quickly.
& This mode lets you shoot from as close as 20 cm/7.9 in. to your subject (when
the optical zoom is at the greatest wide-angle).
% This mode lets you shoot from as close as 2 cm/0.8 in. to your subject. In the
[%] mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of the zoom is
fixed automatically and cannot be adjusted.

• If you are close to a subject, the picture in the viewfinder is different from the
area that the camera actually records. For macro mode shooting, use the
monitor.
• During super macro shooting, the built-in flash is not available.
