Your Camera Can Get Really, Really Close
SCOTT KELBY
Your iPhone’s camera has an automatic macro feature for taking really close-up photos. In fact, it will focus up to just a few inches from the object you’re trying to shoot (you can get as close as 4″ away, and it will still focus). You may be thinking, “Why would I want a photo taken that close to anything?” Actually, it’s fun (it’s one of those things you just have to try for yourself). In fact, go ahead and try it right now—grab your iPhone, tap the Camera app, get around 4″–5″ from something, and you’ll see that the macro auto-focus kicks right in. I know. It’s cooler than it sounds.
