Shooting Close-Ups - Canon EOS 250D Advanced User's Manual

Shooting Close-ups

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).
Shooting Tips
Use a simple background.
z
A simple background makes small objects such as flowers stand out
better.
Move in as close as possible to the subject.
z
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 and focus
cannot be achieved, 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.
z
When using a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject
look larger.
