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.

wow do you have that pic in a larger resolution?

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.

    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
