Super macro mode makes it easier to shoot close-ups of small objects, such as dew drops and leaves, as well as everyday subjects, to bring out details easily missed by the naked eye.
Open Camera, then enter Super macro mode using either of the following methods:
Automatic: Frame the object in the viewfinder. Keep a distance of 2.5–8.0 cm (about 1–3 in.) from the object. The camera will automatically focus, or the screen will display Super macro.
Manual: In the viewfinder, drag the zoom slider to lower than 1x, or go to Camera > More to enable Super macro.

A standard macro takes a subject you can see pretty well with the naked eye, and brings out detail, color, and translucence that you had no idea was there unless you had seen in an image before. Super macro often deals with subjects that you can barely discern with your eye.
It's basically close-up photography where the image projected on the camera sensor is relatively the same size as your subject. We give this term a ratio of 1:1. Most standard macro lenses give you up to 1:1 ratio. As for super macro, depending on your lens combination, you can usually get a ratio of 2:1 or greater.
Aperture — For the smallest subjects (one inch or smaller), it's best to use a higher aperture setting between f/8 and f/11. That'll help you keep the depth of field deep enough to capture the subject. For subjects larger than one inch, you can use a lower f-stop between f/2.8 and f/10.
Macro lenses are designed to capture close-up shots with incredible detail. By being able to focus much closer than regular lenses, macro lenses enable the reproduction of tiny subjects at up to 1:1 life-size on your camera sensor. This means that objects can appear as large on your sensor as they are in real life.
The deep depth of field of these cameras is an advantage for macro work. The high pixel density and resolving power of these cameras' sensors enable them to capture very high levels of detail at a lower reproduction ratio than is needed for film or larger DSLR sensors (often at the cost of greater image noise).
