When you want to shoot flowers or small things 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 makes small objects such as flowers stand out
better.

Move in as close as possible to the subject.
Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses
have indications such as <
0.25m/0.8ft > on them. 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, the focus indicator <
o
> will blink.
If the built-in flash is fired and the bottom part of the picture comes
out unnaturally dark, move away a little from the subject and try
again.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.
If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the
subject look larger.
