Super Macro Mode

Mode Dial
Compared with normal Macro mode, you can get closer to the
subject and magnify it more, when shooting. The background can
also be shot with different effects.
You can shoot subjects in Super Macro mode when the distance
from the end of the lens to the subject is in the following range: 5 to
20 cm (2.0 to 7.9 in.) (wide angle end – 86 mm (35mm film
equivalent)).
The resolution can only be set to M2, M3 or S. If the resolution is set
to L, M1 or RAW when you set the camera to Super Macro mode,
the resolution will automatically be changed to M2. (The resolution
will return to the previous setting when you cancel Super Macro
mode.)
