When shooting in macro to get good depth of field you often have to shoot f/22. This does not let much light in. You have to hold the camera and subject tight. Meaning the use of a firm tripod is not optional. In most cases you need a longer exposure so wiggle is very important.
In wide-angle macro mode,
the minimum focus range is as close as 30cm from CCD(21cm from the lens front.)
At this point, the magnification is 0.03x (equivalent to 0.12x in 35mm format).
(Focal length is7.2mm. At maximum magnification 283mmx213mm of the subject can be captured.)
In telephoto macro mode, the minimum focus range is 25cm from CCD(13cm from the lens front )and the magnification is 0.177x (equivalent to 0.7x in 35mm format).
(Focal length is42.7mm to 50.8mm. At maximum magnification 50mmx37mm of the subject can be captured.)
The macro is good at 4cm at wide angle, 8inches at full telephoto(different distances for any focal length in between). I read that someplace in the manual, I believe.
Press the "T" for telephoto and get closer to the subject. Optical telephoto zoom is like using a telescope to get closer to the subject before taking the picture. With optical Telephoto zoom you can maintain the full resolution and quality.
After you have used all of the optical Telephoto range, the camera will continue to enhance the image with Digital Zoom. This enhances the image inside the camera by reducing the resolution and expanding fewer pixels to fill the same image space.
Use the "W" Wide-angle button to back-up away from the subject or get a bigger area into your picture.
You can even ZOOM IN on a picture in the playback mode for a better look at the details. Touch the Magnifying Glass Icon. Use the Arrow Keys to move around the display area.

It will not work because it is the wrong thread size.
Here is info on the Olympus TCON-17 lens for the 5050:
TCON-17 (1.7X) Telephoto Conversion Lens
Extend the capabilities of your digital camera with the TCON-17 Telephoto Converter lens. This telephoto lens will increase the magnification of your subject by 1.7x when your camera lens is set to the telephoto position. This will help you bring in the subject when you can't get closer, for example, shooting sports or concerts. Please see below for additional items required to attach this lens to your camera.
The following models require the CLA-1 and 43-55mm Step-Up Ring:
C-2000/2020/2040/3000/3020/3030/3040/4000/4040/5050 Zoom
.......
The video lens is too small (diameter). If you found one with a 43mm thread and put it on the 5050, you would experience severe vignetting (clipping of the corners of the photo).
