Who cares what the User's Manual says? You want the option of using the flash in Macro Mode, don't you? Well, you can and it's very simple:
With the camera on, select a mode that will get you the flash (forced flash or automatic, they both work). Be sure the macro switch is OFF (in the down position). | |
Press the yellow shutter button only halfway, until the green LED below the viewfinder glows. | |
Holding the shutter button, slide the Macro Mode switch ON and ready your shot. The green LED will continue to glow steadily. | |
Take the picture! |
Note that to take another picture with flash, you have to return the Macro Mode switch to its OFF position first.
