Close-ups
When you want to photograph flowers
or
small things up close, use the
<~>
(Close-up) mode.
To
make small things appear much larger, use
a macro lens (sold separately).

Tips
•
Use
a
simple
background.
A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better.
•
Move
to
the
subject
as
close
as
possible.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses
have indications such as
<
~
O.28m/O.9ft>. The lens minimum
focusing distance
is
measured from the <
~
> (focal plane) mark on
the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the
focus confirmation light
<.
> will blink.
Under low light, the built-in flash will fire. If you are too close to the
subject and the bottom
of
the picture looks dark, move away from
the subject.
•
With
a
zoom
lens,
use
the
telephoto
end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the
subject look larger.
