Help me shoot a close up picture!!!

[akshatp]

Okay, so I am trying to sell my old iPhone on the FS/FT forum. Got many PM's for close up pictures of the small scratches on the back.

However, I cant get a good clear shot of it no matter what. Either its out of focus, the flash is too bright, cant see any of the markings, etc.

Ive tried without flash, night setting, etc but I really need to learn how to take a REAL close up picture and I cant figure it out myself.

HELP

Use Macro. If you go through the menu, you'll find a setting called macro(flower icon) and that does what you're asking for.

You might have to manually focus, at least on my a570 it's manual macro focus.
