?– Correction marks work only at close range Parallax, by definition, diminishes with
distance from the subject. At ordinary distances, you don??™t need to worry about the marks
at all. In fact, if you use them when shooting a subject that is 10 feet away, they will
simply introduce composition error in exactly the opposite direction. Remember though,
that they are important when using your macro mode.
?– You can avoid using correction marks entirely Instead of relying on the optical
viewfinder when shooting close-ups, use the camera??™s LCD display instead. The LCD
display shows you almost exactly what the lens sees, and therefore there??™s no parallax at
all when using it.
Whenever possible, frame your macro shots with the LCD viewfinder. Unfortunately,
this can be hard in very bright sunlight, when the LCD is too difficult to see. Try
shading the LCD display??”Delkin (www.delkin.com) sells Pop-Up Shades that attach
the back of your camera and help shield the LCD display from direct sunlight.
Use Add-On Lenses
The macro mode built into your point-and-shoot digital camera is certainly a nice start for taking
close-up pictures, and you can get some pretty good results with it. But if you yearn for greater
magnification than your camera is capable of providing, there is an answer: add-on lenses.
