Shooting Close-ups
When you want to shoot flowers 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 flowers stand out
better.
z Move in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have
indications such as < 0.25m/0.8ft > on them. The lens minimum focusing
distance is measured from the < V > (focal plane) mark on the top of
the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject and focus
cannot be achieved, the focus indicator <
o
> will blink.
If the built-in flash is fired and the bottom part of the picture comes out
unnaturally dark, move away a little from the subject and try again.
z With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
When using a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject
look larger.
