closeup digital photos - ??
I'm no shutterbug. I'm using a digital camera that cost about $200. It
isn't a fancy Nikon which allows you to swap lenses or anything remotely like that. Still, it ought to be able to take a closeup of something about the size of a golf ball. I simply can't make it shoot anything clear. It has a zoom button. It has "macro mode". It has autofocus, and I know about putting something like a playing card at the right distance and holding the button halfway down to hold the autofocus and then shooting the object. I get pictures that are semi-usable but nothing at all that can really be said to be in focus. I believe I've tried all 4 permutations of zoom and macro mode. Is it me, or the camera? If me, what should I do differently? If it's the camera, what other camera works better? BTW, what I'm shooting are details of my die filer for the die filer Web page I'm building. I know there is probably a more specifically correct NG but I'm real used to this one and we have many knowledgeable regulars. Grant Erwin Kirkland, Washington |
