Photographing Close-Ups

If you want to take pictures of objects up close, such as flowers or artwork, use the Close-Up feature. When selected, the camera automatically sets the focus distance to 0.8 to 1.6 ft (0.25 to 0.5 m) and sets the flash to ensure detail and clarity. Since the viewfinder on the camera may not accurately frame your picture in Close-Up, the Preview option is automatically activated. For information on Preview, see Previewing a Picture Before it is Taken.

  1. Set the Mode dial to Capture.
  2. Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.

  3. Press the INFINITY FOCUS/CLOSE-UP button twice.

    The Close-Up icon appears in the Status Display and the LCD Preview feature shows a live image.

    When you use the Close-Up feature, the zoom capabilities on the camera are disabled.

  4. Frame your subject using the LCD and press the SHUTTER button.
  5. To turn off Close-Up, press the INFINITY FOCUS/CLOSE-UP button once, or turn off the camera.
