When you want to shoot flowers or small objects up close, use the <4>
(Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro
lens (sold separately).
Use a simple background.
A simple background with no other flowers or leaves, etc., makes small
objects such as flowers stand out better.
Move as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have
indications such as <MACRO 0.25/0.8ft>. (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 top of the
camera to the subject. If you are 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.
