5. Hand-held Close-up (Macro) Shooting This lens allows users to focus from infinity to a magnification of 0.5x for close-up (macro) shooting. Hold the camera steadily Hold the camera steadily as shown in the illustration on the right when taking hand-held close-ups (macro), and shoot carefully to minimize camera shake and prevent focus blurring. Taking photographs using servo AF It is recommended that the camera AF operation is set to [Servo AF] when taking close-up (macro) shots. Refer to the camera's instructions for further details. Place both elbows on a steady surface such as a table. zzIt is necessary to be careful with the following during close-up (macro) shooting. • Camera shake creates more impact than on normal shots, and the effects of the image stabilizing function are reduced. • Depth of field becomes extremely shallow when taking close-up (macros) shots, and the focus may blur if the camera is moved forward or backward. zzThe minimum focusing distance (minimum distance between the subject and the imaging area) is 0.17 m/0.56 ft. The working distance (distance between the front end of the lens and the subject) is 70 mm/2.76 in. Use your knee to support the elbow of the arm holding the camera or lens. Lean against a steady object like a wall to support your body and arm. ENG-11
