Macro is a setting on your camera for super close-ups. There are usually - at least on my inexpensive but perfect for me Canon camera- three settings for distance. The camera - while using Program, not automatic - will always default to regular distance but there is also macro and a far distance setting. The main thing I got from my course was to study the manual. I ordered it online as the little manual that comes with the camera. It really helped me understand my camera. What kind of camera is yours? I love using macro (close up) for flowers and butterflies. Mary
I meant to say the little manual that comes with the camera is often just very basic. Google your camera name and series and see if there's an online full manual. I was able to order mine in print as a book as that's a better way for me to learn. Sorry to be so wordy! Mary
Hi Mary, I have the full manual to mine. It came with my camera. Funny you should say that because the man teaching at the club told me to read the manual, too. I guess I did when I got the camera, but Randy was alive and he would adjust it for me. But Randy's gone. I do have a thing on the camera that I use to bring things in closer, but I think there are more things on the camera than that. You aren't wordy, appreciate the help. Marilyn
Interesting theatre... hope it continues to be used... even for small events... more intimate experience.... What happy flowers you have sent us today... joyful. Bless you, Marilyn
...it's a glorious time of year.
