<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 440274, member: 15199&quot;]Hi Blueangel,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I have a Canon 590IS which is very similar in the basics. If I might give a couple of hints.&nbsp; As was mentioned above the white balance is off on the closeups, probably due to non daylight spectrum lights. With these cameras, you can&#039;t adjust white balance in the auto mode, but if you adjust the white balance in the Manual (M) mode, it will hold it until you have to change the batteries or take out the memory card. You put a white sheet of paper under the lights you want to use for photo, turn the dial selector to &quot;M&quot; and &quot;set function&quot; and find the WB on the left and click down to it. Focus on the white sheet of paper and press ( on mine the display button) might be different on yours. The camera now knows what light source you are using and sets the color appropriately. Now you can turn it back to auto. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also beyond 4X telephoto, it might enlarge the photo, but it reduces the resolution, because it changes the pixels in the center area. So best closeups will be at 4X&nbsp; ( optical maximum).</p><p><br /></p><p>The Macro function is sharpest from minimum&nbsp; to about 12-18 inches. Beyond that use the regular setting for sharpest image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that can help a little. They do take great photos!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
