I don't know why, but for some strange, unexplicable reason I want to tell you that I use a magnifying glass to take pictures closer up than the macro setting alone takes. I don't think it will fix the focusing problem, but then again I wouldn't know since I haven't tried (my camera also has autofocus but I don't really have that problem). Maybe it will.[b said:Quote[/b] ]i need to work with the manual settings more with the camera. the automatic macro setting has to lil depth of field for the frogs.
