Close-Up & Macro Photography
We have seen that using a wide angle setting with the lens and moving
close to the subject will allow you to take some extreme close-ups such
as the one shown below.
Whilst this does give great results it can lead to “perspective distortion”.
If this is the case, or the fact that some subjects may not allow you to get
so close to them, then we need to look at other methods of achieving a
larger image on the camera sensor.
One of these methods is to use “close-up lenses” or “filters” as
sometimes they are erroneously referred to as. These supplemental
lenses act like correction lenses that we find in spectacles. They modify
the focal length of the lens in front of which they are placed. They are
positive dioptres which effectively allow the lens to focus closer.
A set of 3 close-up lenses, the #1, #2
and #4 and an optically corrected
“achromatic” close up lens. All have
a 52mm filter thread and screw
directly onto the front of the FZ200
lens.
