4Shooting Close-ups (Close-up)

For shooting flowers and small objects up close. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately).

Shooting Tips

Use a simple background.

When the background has no other flowers, leaves, etc., the closeup subject will stand out more.

Move as close as possible to the subject.

Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <40.25m/0.8ft>. (This example indicates a minimum focusing distance of 25 cm/0.8 ft.) The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark (on the left of the hot shoe) to the subject. If you get too close to the subject, focus cannot be achieved.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.
