Closeup Shots? Is there a setting for closeup?

Use iA and as close as 1cm. Use a tripod or hold still. Do not block the light. This is the equivalent to a $1000 DSLR macro lens(not counting other lenses for mid and telephoto); not including the body which would be at least a D90 body, to get similar camera features. There are many pros and cons but MACRO is a FZ28 strength.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

have you check the ISO youre using? I had the same problem when i had my setting at the highest ISO. I now just leave it as AUTO and have great pics. If thats not the problem, then i dunno what is. Sorry!

I believe you want to use "Time" exposure mode, which allows you to click once for shutter open, and click again for shutter close.

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

In the panoramic mode you press and hold the button while take a pano shot. But the result, although excellent, is a single pano photo. I believe you may be desiring Continuous shooting which is available in the "Drive" mode for Action shots. For more info you can check out the user manual (English Version) at: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/EC-ST200FBPBUS I love the camera and so does my wife. I am an experienced amateur and my wife is a good "point and shoot" photographer. Hope this helps.

I don't have my camera in front of me, but I don't recall any setting to change the focus.It would most likely be one of the preset shooting modes the camera has that would produce a shot like that.

i too had problems with blurring and out of focus shots, ive used the camera a lot recently, and was getting annoyed that close up shots were rubbish, until a friend said try turning off the image stabilizer, i did, close up pics look much sharper, i only use the stabilzer now for long zoom shots, isnt that what its suppose to be for anyway, maybe it aint suppose to be on all the time

Yes there is a setting you switch on the camera,pic is of a stick figure running. Love the quality of pictures this camera takes.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

I would like the closeup, I am hoping to adjust the focus by breaking the glue. Would that be possible?

I don't know for sure but I don't recall seeing such features in the camera menu

I have no idea. Scrolling through the settings, I can not find where any camera setting would be selected. Sorry.

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

I changed my setting several months ago, trying lots of things, unsuccessfully. Finally, and I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but in the setting mode, I changed my "GPS Demonstration" to "on." Until that time, nearby points of interest were printing on the bottom of my photos. That is no longer happening. 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.

It appears that you can only set to shoot 6op in 2D. Furthermore, you cannot shoot 3D stills with any setting. A disappointment for a HD 3D camera.
