scampo said:I bet you were pleased with that. The plane of focus / depth of focus is tiny when your up so close so that might be why the focus is a touch out - mind you it's still pretty sharp.
I used to love taking such shots years ago.
I'll second that Scampo,somewhere on the gallery ,there is I think a pic of a butterfly(Painted Lady??) which I took with the 602,it is such a user friendly camera,and they can be picked up very reasonably from camera shops as "used bargains).I just wish one could use it for digi scoping!!scampo said:My Fuji S602 focuses down to almost touching the object and its flash still illuminates unbelievable well. I don't know how they do it - when I think back to my SLR days with expensive macro tubes and ring flash - phew!

I think thats the one reason im not moved to go out and buy that S602. I do wish to have a bash at some digi-scoping.tracker said:QUOTE=christineredgat]I just wish one could use it for digi scoping!!

christineredgat said:I liked your pic taken with the coolpix,it shows texture ,I think it is good,so may have a try myself,but I tend to leave the settings as they are for digi scoping,makes life easier.

Peacock butterfly and a Southern hawker dragonfly
Elizabeth Bigg said:Denis - how close were you when you took the photo of the peacock butterfly? I found it in the gallery, but no info about this.
We have recently bought the camera - pity about the lack of butterflies! :eek!: However - I have just remembered the London Butterfly House!!! My granddaughter is mad about butterflies, and I took her there in July. Watch this space!! (But don't hold your breath).
