For best results use a macro lens or a macro capable zoom lens.

Do not use the built-in flash if your subject is closer than 1.0m (3.3 ft.). The lens may block the flash, creating a shadow at the bottom of your image (lens shadowing).

Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.

The built-in flash is only effective when your subject is within the flash range.

Use fast film and keep the focus frame on your subject.

Mount the camera on a tripod when using telephoto lenses.

Use spot AF to hold the focus in Sports mode (p52).
