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 🙂

What lens do you have now?

That 5x/10x is a focusing aid the zoom can only be accomplished by twisting the zoom ring if you have a zoom lens.
