I assume fiddling with that slider has something to do with my pictures suddenly going oddly fuzzy - should have read the instructions what are they???

what kind of camera have you got?

usually i've seen mountain is either zoom out or landscape mode, not sure about the tomato rose though

Pfffff it's a very old digital (maybe 5 years old???) I can't remember, I think the mountains are something to do with landscape and for some reason the word 'macro' comes to mind...but I dunno. Elijah's face is all fuzzy

the little flower is macro, you just confused me with tomato rose

i sometimes get good portraits in macro

It looks like something you would find on top of a prawn cocktail, well when daddy is out again we will try again with it on macro and see if Eli looks less drunk

The mountain is usually for landscape photos, as in to get a lot into the shot that might be a distance away

macro is a flower - so that sounds like the other - thats for small/close up stuff

Thanks! I should probably have it on macro then

A macro lens on an SLR can do a good job on portraits, but on a compact camera with presets there should be a specific setting for portraits, which would be better.

Even digital cameras 5 years old usually came with that kind of preset, depends how basic it is I suppose, but if its just got macro and Landscape then its kinda got nothing for in between lol

Oooh not specific haha it is a slider on the side of it! I think I only bought it cos it was blue if I remember rightly. There are some other things in the menu that I'm too lazy to experiment with - it's just for pics of Eli for daddys birthday
