The macro mode switches the lens into a close focus mode, but limits far focus. In macro, you probably get something like .5m to 2m in focus.

928 questions
Hi, I have some questions about the Espio 928 (the old one, not M) camera: - When I press the upper right (focus mode) button three times, the zoom goes to 28mm and an icon appers on the LCD which looks like a hand holding the camera. What is this mode for? - When I press the upper left (red-eye) button long, the exp. compensation comes up. There is also a small flower icon blinking on the LCD these times. What is it for, and how to use it? - Is there any way to lock the shutter in open position in B mode? Thanks in advence! Gabor - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Re: 928 questions
- When I press the upper right (focus mode) button three times, the zoom goes to 28mm and an icon appers on the LCD which looks like a hand holding the camera. What is this mode for? It's called the 'Easy-Pic' mode and is meant to be used by someone who is totally unfamiliar with the camera. It effectively makes the 928 a wide-angle point-and-shoot camera. - When I press the upper left (red-eye) button long, the exp. compensation comes up. There is also a small flower icon blinking on the LCD these times. What is it for, and how to use it? I don't remember exactly - if the exp. compensation indicator comes up then it should be increasing the exposure by 1.5EV for backlight compensation. Usually, the 'flower' icon shows that the camera is ion macro/close-up mode. It could be that you are setting the close-up mode and the camera is then selecting to use exposure compensation. - Is there any way to lock the shutter in open position in B mode?

Re: 928 questions
A reliable sorce close to Pentax ;-) provides the following information: The 928 allows you, in this setting to employ a hyper focal distance focus. It automatically focuses at 9 feet. With the lens automatically zoomed to the 28mm position, you effectively have sharpness from a couple of feet from the camera to infinity. I don't know if the aperture selected is a little smaller as well, but it might be. The small flower icon indicates 'macro' mode.
