  1. zoom in. Closest focus distance (5cm) extend beyond 35mm eq focal length
  2. close the lens. The larger the sensor, the thiner is depth of field. F/5.6 still give very thin DOF.
  3. Set the AF to macro or use MF to the closest possible and adjust by moving the camera
  4. If you need more magnification and don't use post processing, you can take advantage of the 20Mpixel by using the digital teleconverter (it is like emulating a smaller sensor camera)
  5. if you do a lot of macro, save the settings into the custom mode, then you have a dedicated macro mode on the mode dial

It is cm! 2x digital teleconverter used. AF (but contrasty target). SOOC jpeg, 0 PP
