• Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.

•For best results in close-up photography 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 flash exposure will be overexposed. See flash range, p. 36.

•At close distances, the lens or len hood may block the flash, creating a shadow at the bottom of your image (lens shadowing, p. 36). The use of an accessory flash is recommended.

•Make sure the subject is not closer than the minimum focusing distance of lens. Refer to the owner’s manual of your lens.
