trying out my digital cam

Ohhh pretty you know I have the same problem with my camera how did you change that I dont have the manual with me right now but I do have the camera

i changed the macro settings.normally the cam is set to take pics of things that are far away.i set it so that it takes pics of things that are up close.

Yeah but how would I do that where on the camera is the selection menu for that type of thing

im not sure what your cam looks like.mine has 4 arrows next to where the screen is.the one that points "right" has a flower design meaning use that option for taking close-up pics of things like flowers.

this is what my cam looks like.the arrow pointing to the right has that flower desing i was telling you about.took this with my webcam.

Another thing you can do is step back and take the picture from a distance, a few feet maybe.

Using a program like Photoshop, you can then just crop out the snake, instead of just resizing the whole picture. But it seems you're starting to get a handle on the macro feature.

Practice makes perfect. Keep shoting pics, you'll get the hang of it. :D
