Sub mode		Description
c	Microscope	Images can be taken from up to 1 cm away from the subject.
d	Focus Stacking	The camera shoots a number of images, automatically shifting the focus in each image. These can then be combined into a composite image with a large depth of field. Two images are recorded, the first frame and the composite image. The number of shots and the length of time the camera waits before shooting starts can be selected in [Focus Stacking Settings]. In some cases, it may not be possible to create a composite image due to shaking of the camera.
e	Focus Bracketing	In this mode, the camera shoots a number of images, automatically shifting the focus in each image. The number of images and shooting steps are set in [Focus BKT].
f	Microscope Control	Optimized for close-ups with the subject magnified in the monitor. The magnification level when the shooting distance is 1 cm is displayed on the monitor. Press I to zoom in on the view through the lens (2× zoom). Press again for 4× zoom. Pressing I when 4× zoom is selected cancels zoom. At high magnification levels, the image may be grainy.
