    Thank you for the kind encouragement. Looking forward to venturing beyond the backyard, though it's nice to work out the methods from the comfort of home. Just wish that pesky "work" thing wasn't getting in the way.

    Achieving sharp focus with P5100 Coolpix?

    Am facing the same challenge. I believe Neil has previously recommended setting AF to macro mode and staying in zoom ranges where it is functional (I.e., the macro symbol glows green on the LCD. Will definitely give this a try.
