A method for macro photographing with a digital camera without attaching a separate light source apparatus for macro photographing is provided. A method for macro photographing in automatic light emission mode of a digital camera with a two-stage shutter button, and capable of photographing an object in close range in automatic light emission mode by using built-in macro and normal flashes, in which the amount of light emission is automatically adjusted, includes: when the shutter button operates in stage 1, with the macro flash emitting light initially, and by performing auto focusing of an object, and setting light exposure automatically, determining a required light emission amount; and when the shutter button operates in stage 2, if the required light emission amount is equal to or less than the maximum light emission amount that the macro flash can emit, the macro flash emitting light, and if the required light emission amount is greater than the maximum light emission amount that the macro flash can emit, the normal flash which emits light in normal mode emitting light to photograph the object.
