ive got a s400 and you cant change the F number on, but you can do what i do and thats focus in close on an object in macro mode than frame the picture so more background is showing this will create a blurred background. like so...

This is such a clich? image but i couldn't resist taking it. There was much airtraffic at that moment. Some 4-5 planes crossing almost the same airspace. This plane was flying lowest and it happened to go in front of the moon. I was having a walk in the woods with a tele attached to my camera in case some nice birds would show up, the moon was up high while the sun was almost setting. Image is cropped in half and resized alot.

Got a question guys... I have a Canon PowerShot G5 as well and have a question on Macro photography. How do you know when you need it? Does it just allow you to focus closer to the object? Thanks.

i have the s400 - i'm not familiar with the g5 - so this is from my experience. use your macro when you wanna zoom in on a small object or get some monster detail on something. you have to hold the camera pretty close to the object 2-3" or so (for what i do anyway), flash turned off, manual mode, and hold the button until the little focus boxes appear on your screen and then snap the pic. you have to be careful of your hands shaking. just keep playing with it until you get comfy...

Thanks Anita! I guess it was more a generic question on what the macro mode is since from my understanding, it seems to be to zoom closer to objects that the normal zoom can't get closer to without bluring the picture. Now to find some things to take pictures of... :yes:

Macro is usually for close ups like you mentioned. You are the one who decides whether you need it or not. The G5 is a manual capable digicam so its up to you. Flowers, face close ups, coins, anything. Usually there is a limit on how far you must be from the subject; this varies from every camera.
