Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge s: kitchen utensil and spiralsquare When buying a new camera phone, I saw an YouTube video giving some promising close up capabilities for the same cameras as used on Sony Xperia 5 II. But that was not the only reason why I chose this phone. A dedicated camera button alone has been my priority number one, when choosing a camera phone. And then there really are not many camera phones available. Today I tried to find out how the close ups seen on that video could have made. I finally decided to choose the 24 mm equivalent lens. Then I tried the digital zoom up to 70 mm equivalent focal length. And finally I chose a manual focus to be sure the camera is focused as close as it physically can. The result is surprisingly good, I think. At least good enough for an amateur photographer like me. Now this amount of magnification is also what is mentioned on Macro Dreams group 'Rules and tips' discussion topic . The image is macro enough when the subject viewed on standard "matchbox" size camera display looks as big as it really is.
