Can I ask what Macro Mode is? I presume it is for shots of very small things. Is it available on most cameras? I don't think mine has it, or Ive never worked out how to use it! Most of the shots I take of my stock are never that good. :(

Cheers

Macro Mode is used for taking photos of things close up. It is usually signified by a flower sign.
