Shooting close-ups — Macro

used when zooming up subjects such as
flowers or insects. Setting the zoom all the
way to the W side lets you shoot subjects at
distances as close as 8 cm. However, the
minimum focus distance varies according

with the zoom set all the way to the W side
is recommended.

the W side:
Approx. 8 cm (3 1/4 inches) from the lens
surface
When the zoom is set all the way to
the T side:
Approx. 25 cm (9 7/8 inches) from the lens
surface
