EOS R50: Do I need a macro lens?

[Bphotographer]

 

Hello. I was recently gifted an EOS R50, coming from a Nikon user for years. I am doing some brand shoots, and am having trouble getting very close up video shots. I have been using the video recording movie close-up demos, but when I click the screen to zoom in either x5 or x10, and begin recording, it zooms out to normal again. I’m sure this is user error, as my last camera was 12 years old, and this is all so new to me. However, is it best to get a macro lens? If so, which one won’t break my wallet? Any attachments worth it, or is a lens my best bet?

Thanks 🙂

I am trying to work on close ups for a skincare brand. Tried to attach an image of what I’m trying to do. I’ve been messing around with the settings to no avail. No matter what I adjust whether it be autofocus, the lens itself, aperture, I cannot get it to zoom and focus.

For something that close you need a macro lens. Note: for these purposes, a still image is better than a screenshot of an LCD.
