Put the mode selector on P. Turn on the LCD. Turn off the Flash. You may
need external lighting.
The Macro button is the middle button on the top row on the rear of the
camera. It has a flower symbol beside it. Press the button to select the
flower.

The rectangle with the dot inside, means spot metering. (good for small
objects). In this mode you have a flower and a rectangle with a dot inside.

In 2 seconds the display will disappear. With the LCD on, half press the
shutter button to focus on the subject, when the image is in focus press the
shutter all the way to take the picture.

If the camera will not focus, you are too far away or too close, move the
camera forward or backward to focus while holding the shutter button half
way. You may have to release the button, move the camera then half press
several times until you get in range. The zoom setting effects the focus.
Wide angle will focus the closest. About 3.6-4 inches from the subject.
Wide angle also will sometimes distort the perspective.
Macro works best if the camera is mounted on a tripod. Focus in macro mode
is very critical.
