Need to shoot macro images from 2-3" away. The closeup mode on this camera doesn't seem to focus anywhere near that. How do I do it?

Either purchase a high quality macro lens, or take the shot as close as possible and then use a computer app to blow the image up.

You need to push a button and slide the focal ring so the ring shows it is in macro. Just push the button above the macro button and slide the focal length ring to either manual or electronic focal length adjustment. It works with all modes including manual.

You put this tripod from up to very close to the ground for a macro picture. Don't worry, that will help you a lot.

Yes! You screw it off completely! It shows up blurry if you're trying to take normal pictures, but when you angle the camera close to something, its supposed to focus and look zoomed in! Keep trying, or look up info about macro lenses!

Why YES, you certainly can. You use the MACRO mode (just push the round button at the 3 o'clock position to toggle between normal, horizon, and macro) and you can get as close as 1.5 inches. I use it for snapping the inside of pocket watches to show the movement in crisp detail, and the shots come out amazing. This is a great camera. I may buy a second as a backup for when I inevitably break this by dropping it or something else very stupid. (Ex: I put my last Canon Powershot, which I loved, through the wash by leaving it in my pants pocket! It still worked, but was very sluggish to open so I got this one and am VERY happy.)

I've not tried it for macro, so can't help you there, My friend has mine in Europe now so I can't try it. Maybe if you google the question, they will know or the manual may pop-up. Aside from my SLR, this takes great telephotos.

There are two macro modes, one closer than the other. If you leave the camera in the EGR or EXR (I forget the exact name) that mode can sense how close the main object is an automatically switch the camera into macro or supermacro mode. Of course you can also do it manually.

I can focus down to about 1/2" from the lens with very good clarity. The problem may be your ability to get good lighting on the object. I do not know how small your object is. I used a AAA battery as an object and got good focus. The camera does have a macro function for close shots.I recommend backing off about 6-8 inches and using a little zoom for a close up. Auto focus produced a good image on my camera.

You haven't given any information about the procedures you are using so I'm having to do some guessing here. First, have you set the camera to Macro? If so, What distance range are you working in? If you are too far away or too close, you will be out of the filters' working range. If you have the settings right and are in range and still can't get the auto focus to work, make sure that the filter(s) are screwed in all the way and on straight. If it still will not auto focus, you will have to switch to manual focus and perhaps moved the camera a little bit closer or farther away from the subject until the subject is in focus.

I am looking for the same info.. if you check out this camera on walmarts site there is an actual video on there! Helped me to decide that this is the camera that I am looking for. Also, I believe the macro is as close as 1 cm ! I need a macro to photograph my beadwork.

It has a macro setting for closer up pic but if you true super close macro you will need to use a camera with interchangeable lens. You can set it to continue to take pics as long as you hold down the button.

If you are using the macro lens that came with this kit, you will only be able to focus on objects no more than a couple of inches away from your camera. Put your focus on manual to adjust.

How does the macro fit on the camera? The fisheye part threads on but doesn't take focused pictures, the macro and fisheye doesn't seem to have any way to fit on? This came with NO instruction manual so I'm at a bit of a loss.

With mine I have to be ridiculously close to the subject, like maybe an inch away. Try putting your lens closer and closer to what you're photographing until it is in focus before trying auto focus.

There is a Macro Mode option. How close you can get to your subject depends on the zoom setting. It ranges from 0.4 inches to 2.0 inches from the lens, according to the user manual.

I am having issues with auto focus inside and out. Inside it will occur on most settings and outside it happens a lot in manual when I am trying to shoot macros but it happens in other settings as well. Can't figure out if it's something I'm doing or if there is something wrong with this particular camera but it is becoming incredibly frustrating. Any thoughts?
