Shooting Close-ups
When you want to shoot owers or small things up close, use the <
4
>
(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro
lens (sold separately).
Shooting Tips
z
Use a simple background.
A simple background makes small objects such as owers stand out
better.
z
Move in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. The lens minimum
focusing distance is measured from the <
V
> (focal plane) mark on the
top of the camera to the subject. Focusing is not possible if you are too
close.
z
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject
look larger.
