Shooting close-ups — Macro

flowers or insects. Setting the zoom all the

varies according to the zoom position.
Therefore, shooting with the zoom set all
the way to the W side is recommended.
When the zoom is set all the way to 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
