B Note on Shooting with the Flash
When shooting with D (macro close-up), the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at
distances of less than 30 cm (1 ft).
C Focus Mode Setting
• The setting varies with the shooting mode. See “Available Functions” (A60) and “List of the
Default Settings” (A69) for more information.
• This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be
Used Simultaneously” (A80) for more information.
• For shooting modes A, B, C and D, the changed focus mode setting is saved in the camera’s
memory even after the camera is turned off.
C Macro Close-up
When using A, B, C, D, E, F or N mode if Autofocus mode in the shooting menu (A54) is
set to Full-time AF, or when using D (movie) mode if Autofocus mode in the movie menu (A101)
is set to Full-time AF, the camera will adjust focus even if the shutter-release button is not pressed
halfway.
When using other shooting modes, Full-time AF is turned on automatically when macro mode is
turned on.
You may hear the sound of the camera focusing.
C Infinity
If you set focus mode to infinity while using A (auto) mode, A, B, C, D, E, F or N mode, O
(low noise night) mode or special effects mode, the focus area is not displayed on the screen.
A
Autofocus
The camera automatically adjusts the focus according to the distance to the subject.
Use when the distance from the subject to the lens is 50 cm (1 ft 8 in.) or more, or
80 cm (2 ft 8 in.) or more at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
D
Macro close-up
Use for close-ups of flowers or small objects.
How close you can be to the subject while shooting depends on the zoom ratio.
When the zoom ratio is set to a position where F and the zoom indicator light in
green, the camera can focus on subjects as close as 7 cm (2.8 in.) from the lens. At the
maximum wide-angle zoom position (the zoom position G), the camera can focus
on subjects as close as 2 cm (0.8 in.) from the lens.
B
Infinity
Use when shooting distant scenes through window glass or when shooting landscapes.
When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the AF/access lamp always lights
in green. However, the camera may not be able to focus on nearby objects. The flash
mode is set to W (off).
E
Manual focus
The focus can be adjusted for any subject that is a distance of 2 cm (0.8 in.) to infinity
from the lens (E2). The closest distance at which the camera can focus varies
depending on the zoom position.
• This function can be used when the shooting mode is A, B, C, D, E, F, N,
O (low noise night), special effects mode or scene mode Sports.
