I need help

I can't get close-ups.

Sony Cyber-shot 5.0 DSC P10

Any help fellas.

On close-up mode you can only get within 4 inches or it will blur

I have a sony mavica CD and I have no idea what Macro is either but, get this, there is a little icon of a flower on my cam and if you push the button and get really close with the camera, it takes hella good pictures, very clear. For all I know that what Macro could be...that button with the flower.

guess what CalcioErba? IT IS!

Little button with the flower is the macro mode, at least on my camera (Minolta Dimage Z10)

Hey Capt! --

I have a Sony Cyber-Shot 3.3, DSC-S75... Probably very similar to yours.

Do you have your camera's operating instructions? Per the manual, in Macro Mode {w/ the li'l flower icon on}, you can record a subject as close as about 4 cm {1 5/8"} from the lens surface with the zoom set all the way to the W side, or about 20 cm {8"} with the zoom all the way to the T side.

Couple that with a couple of tips from here:
* Zoom all the way out {T side} before entering Macro Mode
* Use a tripod if possible to steady the camera...
* Possibly try using a mangnifying glass in front of the lens {I've not tried this one yet, personally...}


Hope that helps!
