Then it's time for you to discover the great function of the "Macro" setting! With this setting turned on, your camera will now focus on closer objects. VERY close. Depending on the camera, you can get as close as 1/2" away from the subject, and I'm talking about a point-n-shoot camera, not a professional camera. Believe it or not, the cheaper, lower-zoom cameras work the best for close-up shots. The picture above was taken with my 10x zoom camera at about 1-1/2" away, but this picture below was taken with my trusty 3x zoom camera! Those letters are on my micrometers and are about 1/8" tall and the whole word is maybe 1/2" long.
No more fuzzy pictures, no more resorting to using terrible quality cel-phone pictures, just great focused images that you can use to show people exactly how you put something together or how you had to modify something to get it to work. It's that simple, just one button push.
Just remember to turn it off when you're taking regular pictures because things may not be in focus or only the object "focused" on will be in focus, nothing immediately behind or in front of the object will.
