1Macro. Press the left macro button on the side of the camera to turn the
macro on. You will see a flower icon on your LCD matching the one
indicated on this button. (p. 21, 56)
2Shutter speed and F-stop. Depending on the level of ambient light in
your office, you may wish to adjust these settings. Increasing the speed by
turning the command dial on top of the camera will yield slightly darker
pictures; decreasing will yield brighter pictures. We do not recommend
going below 100 as this may produce blurred images. To change the F-
stop, hold down the +/- button on top of the camera while turning the
command dial. Decreasing the F-stop number will yield brighter pictures;
increasing the F-stop number will yield darker pictures. (P. 44)

in focus, the camera will give a double beep and contract the AF frame ([
