CLOSE-UPS

(Macro)

Use

of

the

macro

function

the

camera

to

approach

the

subject

almost

to

the

lens,

so

that

even

tiny

objects

can

literally

fill

the

screen

for

dramatic

close-up

effects.

This

allows

you

to

discover

aspects

of

the

subject

that

would

otherwise

be

"impossible".

To

remove

the

lens

hood,

turn

it

in

a

counterclockwise

direction.

tion.
