    Solution


      If you are shooting a subject at a close distance, and if the subject cannot be easily focused within the normal shooting range, switching the normal mode to the [Macro] ( ) mode will make it easier to focus on the subject.
      IMPORTANT
      • The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program AE] ( ).
      • The edges of the image may darken if the flash fires.
      The shooting distance of each [Focusing Range] and the shooting modes in which [Focusing Range] settings cannot be made

      1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.

      2. Press the < > button.



      3. Press the <><> buttons or turn the <> dial to choose [Macro (), and then press the <> button.



      Once the setting is complete, [Macro] () is displayed on the screen.


      REFERENCE
      • To prevent camera shake, try mounting the camera on a tripod and shooting with the camera set to [Self-timer].

      The shooting distance for each [Focusing Range] is as shown in the following table (from the end of the lens). If you shoot beyond the following ranges, the subject may be out of focus.
      Also, the [Focusing Range] cannot be set in some shooting modes. Please see the following table for details.
