Can you take close up macro shots with this camera?

Yes the DMC-FZ70 is very capable at macro shots. It has a button on the back to switch the autofocus from normal to macro, enabling the camera to take pictures as close as 1 cm at the wide angle focal length! Also in the iA (intelligent auto) mode, the camera automatically detects when the subject is close enough to require the macro setting and switches it to macro, then automatically switches it back to normal when the camera is moved further away from the subject. You can also select a macro focus function in the manual, aperture priority, shutter speed priority, and program modes, and can select between autofocus macro and macro zoom. I have taken pictures with the camera lens practically touching the subject in all kinds of lighting conditions and they have turned out great. Of course the autofocus at such range has a severely reduced margin for focus alignment so you have to give it a few seconds to focus and then be careful not to move the camera again before the shot. Probably should switch off the flash (simple to do on this camera) and perhaps use a tripod and self timer if the subject is not well lit. To boot the camera accepts an adapter and close-up lens but I'm not sure why you'd need them given how great the macro works.

The macro ability is almost too good. I was disapointed, for a while there, that it would not focus, at times, with a Polaroid and UV filters. I later realized that it would focus on any dust on the filter (especially when the sun is not in your back).

If macro mode means to take picture at close up, I think it does NOT have a macro mode. Otherwise, I don't know.

Hi, this Sony Cybersgot DSCW800 do have a settings for macro shot. It is a preset settings under "Scene Recognition". As for the ISO, you can set it manually, ranging from Auto, ISO 100 to ISO 3200. Hope this helps. -Ely

There is no Macro mode on the Lens but if you use the Macro feature on the camera it will allow you to get very close and take great Macro Pictures.

the macro setting isnt exactly the best, most of the time it turns out blurry - works best about 6 inches away, but the super macro mode seems to work better - for as close as about 2-3 inches. I know this probably isn't the most helpful response, but ive only had the camera for about a few days, this is just what ive noticed.

The macro works great with this camera. I decided to purchased this camera after reading a review by a 'pro' photographer who also show examples of macro shots. Link: http://www.theinspiredeye.net/panasonic-dmc-lf1-camera-review-an-amazing-pocket-multi-tool/#more-2506

Hi. The only "macro" I see the camara has is accesible from the visible botton in the back ot the camara. I don't speak english very well. I can send you the Guide to your e-mail if you want...

That is really a hard question to answer all I can say is I have been able to do some great closeups with the zoom, better then macro I think you have to be about 25 feet away to use the full zoom on closeups

You can set the camera to macrozoom and get as close as you need to get-just play with the distance because it automatically centers the photo.

Yes. You can shoot in 'pro focus' mode, or do it the real way by shooting with a wide aperture setting of 2.8. Since this camera has real aperture blades, you can set it in aperture prioirity mode and set it to the smallest possible number.

There is no specific macro mode - but the lens will focus down to about 10 inches from the subject. The lens does not give true macro 1:1 size but does give excellent close up photographs

You can if you wish, however, if you hold the shutter button down just a bit, the camera will auto focus (a green square will appear in the center, beep) and you're good to go. It's a great camera, love my pics with it.

While it doesn't have a macro mode, it does focus well up-close to objects. Overall, I'm pleased with the all-around performance of this camera, especially considering its price, size and weight. I carry it clipped onto my belt using a flip-phone case (regular camera cases are too big for this), it has ultimate portability.

Hello,Maybe try turning flash off, if you haven't already. There is also a macro mode built in this camera to account for close up shots. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, all in this series have close up (macro) for capturing images close up. The latest in this series actually has a "fill light" which has a light to fill in shadows or for low or no light situations. All of the cameras are nice. this model has a smaller LCD but is well built and overall a nice investment now that these sell for far less than when first manufactured.

No. Macro is for taking real close-up pictures! None of these are zoom lens.
