We present 5 tips how to take better #macro images using the common compact and #ultrazoom cameras. You can easily improve your photography skills.
0:05 - Tip 1: Zoom a little bit (better composition, higher background blur)
1:25 - Tip 2: Take the image from an object level (better bokeh)
2:02 - Tip 3: Use a larger aperture (bokeh)
2:33 - Tip 4: Use your hand and focus on it (to overcome AF limitations)
2:55 - Tip 5: Use manual focus (if there are AF related issues)
Of course, some of the #tips from this #tutorial are not completely valid for each compact camera and the capabilities can vary. Use captions for better explanation of details. Canon PowerShot SX740 HS ultrazoom was used.
