Shooting Close-up For close-up shots, use the macro mode which allows you to bring the camera as close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject. For example, you could accurately capture the details of a flower's petals, pistils, and stamens. 3 To set the camera in the macro mode, press and hold down the macro button , turn the main dial or sub dial until you see the macro mark in the control panel, and then take the picture. Shot in macro wide-angle mode Shot in macro TELE mode Note • With the camera set for TELE, you can bring the camera as close as 20 cm (8 in.) from the subject to photograph an area about the size of a business card, or approximately 76 x 57 mm (3 x 2.3 in.). (© 42) • There is a greater possibility of camera shake spoiling a picture, so try to steady the camera as much as possible, or use a tripod. • Use as fast a shutter speed as possible to prevent the wind or other movement from causing the subject to blur. • If you use the flash in some situations, the lens barrel could cause a shadow in the picture. • For close up shots, you may find it convenient to pull out the monitor and compose the picture in the monitor.
