focusing range is 2ft/0.60 m to "infinity"

Since the focus range for your camera is 2 ft to infinity, you
will need to place your camera at least two feet from whatever
model you are taking a picture of in order to get a sharp photo.

That's if he wants the very closest spot to be in perfect focus.  :-)
If he can shoot with a small aperture, then he should be able to get
as close as 1.8 ft -- or closer.  It all depends where in the model
the lens is focused.

Also, just because the focus range is 2ft to infinity, it doesn't imply
that the entire range 2 ft. to infinity will all be in focus.  If you focus
at a distance of 2 ft., the in-focus portion is likely to be a band only
a few inches deep.  The smaller the aperture, of course, the deeper
the depth of field.

[...] ...and try not to use the flash...it creates annoying glare on
shiny bricks.

Well, try avoiding the camera's _built-in_ flash anyway.

If you can attach an external flash, and you can bounce it, then you
can actually make all the glare go away.

But ya, going outside in the shade is really a great way to get a lot
of good-quality light if you don't have any bright lights handy.
