    Really close shots. It's for taking pictures that are a few inches away from the camera. This way the camera knows to auto focus on that thing instead of thinking this really close thing is just something in the way.

    Try the setting and taking a picture of your jeans or something. You can really see the texture of the cloth. It's nice.

    Macro is a setting that sets fixes the focus for closeups. If you set it on macro, you can get very close to something for a photo. You focus on macro by moving the camera away or toward an object.

    The ability of a lens to focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size.

    Macro photography is close-up photography. The classical definition is that the image projected on the "film plane" (i.e., film or a digital sensor) is close to the same size as the subject.

    Basically really close up pictures
