I have been trying out Macro photography options for quite sometime on my canon S5 IS and I am happy with the shots.
As always fundamental question , What is Macro photography and how is it useful?
When you want to take close up picture of any tiny object say pollen in flowers,a spider etc All you need is to focus on the delicate intricacy of these objects rather than cover the background. So to get lower depth of field , with high focus on the nearer object which is tiny to make it appear as Macroscopic you would need macro photography.
Why and how to set it?
In all Canon Make there is an exclusive button to set macro lens.Just holding the button for a few seconds would put your camera in Macro mode.So in case you want to take the picture of a beautiful bug or any microscopic object you can turn this on .
What needs to be considered ?
Macro lens is very sensitive to shake , so please make sure you have steady hand to avoid blurring effect.
Make sure the subject is close to you and ie what you are focusing on again to avoid blurring effect and resulting in confused subject.
