You need to use the camera's macro mode. I'm not familiar with the procedure for entering the ZS3's macro; it should be in your manual, of course.
I own a Panasonic DMC-LZ3. I am trying to take pictures of jewlery to sell and I am have problems getting detail on close up pictures. The camera does not have a manual focus ( not sure that would help) What can I do to take a close up picture of things like watches and diamond rings and bracelet's????
