How well does this camera work for Macro photography? Specifically jewelry. Thank you,

It has an automatic macro mode when the object is very close. Works reasonably well when I photograph coins.

Hello Michael, The macro function on this camera is a nice feature. I have used this on floral pics. And other christmas decorations. I find you may like it for the price.

Lila - Yes, this macro lens is great for small objects just realize that you have to be close to get the subject and be very still. My wife uses this lens when she is taking pictures of flowers and has caught several bees in the pictures and the detail is impressive. She is a beginning photographer but has produced some great shots with this macro lens.Good Luck!

I only used it for macro photography in terms of stills. But for me it was not awkward. I Don't own a follow focus system, so I'm constantly turning the focus ring by hand. I like the control, though I would suggest always using the magnification function in your camera to focus perfectly.

Erm, as you should already know the high pixel count for this camera makes it ideal for close up and macro work.It is the quality of the lens that you buy that will do the rest, and obviously that needs to be one that is macro compatible as not all lenses are made for macro work :)

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.

I have this problem But I don't understand your solution, Bruce. Could you or someone explain it again please? You appear to be saying that if the camera is at something like a standard focal length you can choose both Macro and MF. But you can't - not on mine anyway! In my experience, the camera will not focus below 1ft. The image stays blurred and often the yellow central focus frame will display a question mark. Auto-focus does not work in Macro either - so to all practical purposes the camera has no Macro mode. If someone has a fix for this I'd be very interested.

I haven't taken any photographs of jewellery , but I can say that it has a reasonably good macro mode. It also works well in low lights (especially in the EXR mode).

I have the same lens bro and it went well.But you'll have to use the lens on its longest zoom (135mm) to get the macro effect.It's not a macro lens, but it's quite handy if you need to shoot a big closeup.

I've used it for photographing watch faces before, and it does well at eliminating the reflections of light sources from that; however, if it could do the same for this jewelry you have is very dependent on things like the material, shape, and light control.

It can take good macro photos but has some issues attempting that in low light. Get a real macro setup if that's your primary interest.

This is an excellent camera. I have been using it since it was first launched. It can definitely handle low light, however I would recommend a fast lens. That will be the key to keeping the the dreaded noise out of your pictures with higher ISO. Aa far as documents. I would definitely think this would be a great camera to use. I would invest in a tripod though and possibly a macro lens.

I have not taken any macro photos with this lens. For me, it is basically a zoom telephoto lens and will not focus well on close-up items. When I have attempted to use it for close-ups, it continues to cycle and will not focus properly. As a telephoto zoom, it is great for sports photos and brings in long distance subjects clearly. I am sure there are other lenses that are better designed for macro use. John Craighill

As a new enthusiast, I wanted to respond to you quickly. So my initial response is to tell you that this tube works fairly well... but I only tested it on my D300 with a 24~70 lens(2.8).However, I will test it with my D40 this week when it returns from a friend...But my IMMEDIATE advise to you is to take the time to FOCUS MANUALLY and use a tripod to obtain the best results for "macro" photography although the claim is to work with auto-focus lens.

I would recommend a macro lens instead of this... I have both and my macro lens ALWAYS takes better shots! And the macro lens was cheaper! I just got the one with a magnetic ring that goes on my iPhone! Hope this helped!

My advice is to go to DPReview, which is an excellent resource for looking at digital cameras. That is where I get my info. My lens will focus only to ~ 8", so I'm guessing that the macro lens can get closer. Enjoy - it's an awesome camera!
