Shooting Close-Ups - Canon EOS 6D Basic Instruction Manual

4 Shooting Close-ups

When you want to photograph 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).
Shooting Tips
Use a simple background.

A simple background makes the flower, etc., 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 <40.25m/0.8ft>. The lens minimum
focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on
the top left of the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the
subject, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink.
With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the
subject look larger.
