Shooting tips Shooting tips
Shooting using a macro lens depicts a
world, as seen in the photo above, that
naked eyes cannot see. However, focusing
is difficult when shooting with a macro
lens, so it is important to steady the cam-
era by supporting it with arms fixed, or by
using a tripod.
A location by a window is a perfect
shooting spot. The bright light com-
ing through the window enhances
the visual appeal of the dish. For a
photo of a soft mood with delicately
defocused background, use a macro
lens or telephoto lens.
Setting tips
Set Focus Mode to AF-S. For Focus Area, choose
Flexible Spot that allows you to choose a specific
point of focus within the frame. A small aperture
value (wide aperture opening) defocuses the
foreground and background to give the resulting
picture a soft look.
