Macro mode shooting for near object

Always there is a need to take photos with a closed distance. Be it a flower, a small object, or some documents.

In this case, you got to turn on the macro mode in your camera. This photos demonstrate the effect of macro mode shooting.


Every camera got their limit, for example in this case, the Canon SD870 cannot take it as close as 1cm even with the macro is turned on. But as the distance get further apart, to 2cm and 3cm, the images become very sharp, and the camera can focus correctly.
You may wonder what will happen if you do not turn on macro, you can see it at the last photo. The camera cannot focus at all. So remember to turn on macro when you are going to take a closed-up shot.
