Recording pictures (advanced)
Using the Mode Dial
When you want the background to be in 
sharp focus, set the aperture value to a 
higher number. The higher the aperture 
value is the smaller the aperture opening 
will be. For a soft focus background, set the 
aperture value to a lower number which 
corresponds to a larger aperture opening.
1Set the aperture value and take 
the picture.
 Refer to P59 for the available range of the 
aperture value and the shutter speed.
 The focus range is 5 cm (0.16 feet) – ¶ 
(Wide), 2 m (6.56 feet) – ¶ (Tele).
 If the subject is too bright, set to a larger  aperture value, if too dim, set to a smaller 
aperture value.
 The brightness of the screen may differ  from that of the actual pictures. Check it 
using review function or setting to the 
playback mode.
 The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to  [AUTO]. (P73) (When the recording mode 
is switched to Aperture-priority AE, the 
ISO sensitivity is automatically set to 
[ISO100] even though it was set to [AUTO] 
beforehand. You can also change ISO 
setting from [ISO80] (DMC-FZ5)/[ISO64]

menu.)
 When the exposure is not adequate, the  aperture value and the shutter speed on

This mode allows you to take close-up 
pictures of the subject, e.g. When taking 
pictures of flowers.
You can take pictures approaching the 
subject at a distance up to 5 cm (0.16 feet) 
from the lens by rotating the zoom lever 
upmost to Wide (1k). When you rotate the 
zoom lever to Tele, the distance you can 
approach varies in stages. The recordable 
range can be changed up to 2 m (6.56 feet) 
(when the zoom magnification is 11k).
∫Focus range
∫Tele-macro function
When you rotate the zoom lever upmost to 
Te l e  ( 1 2k), you can take pictures 
approaching the subject at a distance up to 
1 m (3.28 feet) from the lens. (The 
tele-macro icon [ ] appears.) It is 
convenient when taking close-up pictures 
of flowers blooming near the ground while 
standing up or when taking close-up 
pictures of insects from a distant position.
 We recommend using a tripod.
 When the subject is close to the camera, 
the effective focus range (depth of field) is 
significantly narrowed. Therefore, you will 
have difficulty in focusing on the subject if 
the distance between the camera and the 
subject is changed after focusing on the 
subject.
 In the tele macro mode, the depth of field 
is extremely narrowed and camera jitters 
occur easier than usual. Therefore, when 
you cannot use a tripod, we recommend 
taking pictures under the brightness in 
which the aperture value is set to F4.0 or 
larger and the shutter speed is set to
1/125th or faster to keep the depth of field 
and the performance of the stabilizer 
function.
 When the camera lens is at a distance 
beyond the available range from the 
subject, the subject may not be focused 
even if the focus indication lights.
 The available flash range is about 30 cm 
(0.98 feet) – 4.5 m (14.8 feet) (Wide). (This 
is applied when you set the ISO sensitivity 
to [AUTO].)
 If you focus on the subject at 2 m (6.56 m) 
or less distant position with tele-macro 
function when setting the optical zoom 
magnification in 12k and then rotate the 
zoom lever for setting the optical zoom 
magnification to 11k or less, the subject 
becomes unfocused. In this case, press 
the shutter button halfway or operate the 
camera to focus on the subject again.
 When you take pictures at close range in 
macro mode, the resolution of the 
peripheral of the picture may be slightly 
decreased. However, this is not a 
malfunction.
