Advanced (Recording pictures)
• When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed.
Therefore, if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the
subject, it may become difficult to focus on it again.
• Macro mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between
the camera and the subject is more than 50 cm (1.64 feet) it takes longer to focus on it.
• When you take pictures at close range, the resolution of the periphery of the picture may
decrease slightly. This is not a malfunction.
• The image quality when recording in [MACRO ZOOM] is poorer than during normal recording.
• The extra optical zoom will not function when [MACRO ZOOM] is set.

Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Note
• When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before
recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly
operating as an AF assist lamp (P66) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
• We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] in scene mode is fixed to 5.
• Self-timer cannot be set to 2 seconds in Intelligent auto mode.
• Self-timer cannot be set to 10 seconds in [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode.
• Self-timer cannot be used while in [HI-SPEED BURST] in scene mode.

automatically set.
Press the shutter button halfway to focus
and then press it fully to take the picture.

activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

self-timer setting is cancelled.
