Hello, All
Now that I have some decent light levels, I want to try and get the hang of doing some macro shots. I was trying to eperiment with getting down really close to the single polyp level with my camera. Even though I had my camera set to macro mode, I couldn't get really close and stay in focus. I have tried it with a distance of about 8" to about 3' using the zoom funtion, I just can't seem to get the hang of it. So I am wondering if A; I am not doing something right, or B: the camera I have isn't what I need for what I am trying to do.
Equipment:
Sony Cybershot 5.0 mp, DSC-v1with 4X optical zoom
I also have a wide angl, and telaphoto I can attatch to it.
it has M, A, S, Program and full auto to choose from.
Alternate equipment that I could try is my film camera:
Minolta Maxum 4 body
Sigma 20-80 HF Aspherical Macro
Sigma 70-300 DL super macro
Promaster 19-35mm Wide angle
TIA
