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.
It is necessary to be careful with the following
z
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.
The minimum focusing distance (minimum
z
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.
Place both elbows on a steady surface such as a table.
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.
