We have the Cyber-shot 5.0 MPEGMovieVX DSC-v1. I can't get my closeups to come out clear....do you mind telling me what you have your camera set on....oh, we have the Zeis lens, also.
Thanks!!

Oh, most importantly....Beautiful snake!! How old is bongo??
Are you using macro mode? its the little flower icon. using that, I can get quality shots up to 2-3" away from the lens

Bongo is almost one year old

Thanks for the comments guys!
