Almost all right. :-) Sadly, macro is at the wide end. :-( Not hard and fast, though, the AF Macro mode works above 24
mm, but becomes progressively less effective. This one is at 5 mm = 28 mm on FF.
But it's a great photo. Very hard to do with an OM-1.
And there's the good part of macro only at WA. I was forced to push it through some grass, while pulling blades aside,
to get close enough. The result was this angle that caught the magnified background in the drops. I also shot with µ4/3
12-50 in Macro mode and 75-300 with extension tubes. Easier/more convenient - but neither caught the magic angle. Just
ordinary shots.
BTW, focus was difficult with all three camera/lenses. A lone, small, thin blade of grass, FAR closer than the
background. None of the AFs were really much use. Fortunately, the front control wheel around the lens base on the ZS40
switches to focus when in MF mode and a magnified view is available.
