Cannon Powershot g6

[PearlIndulgence]

I was told you can get a better focus on things using marco mode. I have a Cannon Powershot G6 and when using digital zoom I get decent pictures but would like something more detailed when photographing my pearls. I couldn't seem to get the macro mode to take any better pictures, i turned marco and super macro mode on and got worse results then with the digital zoom. Any tips on how to use macro mode properly with good results?

Are you at the right distance for each mode? i didnt know the G6 had a super macro mode?

Have you tried a tripod and use the timmer? try that first

Don't ever use digital zoom, all it does is crop the picture and blow it back up

whats the best way to use macro mode, when i use flash it blur's it out, when i get it close it takes forever to focus and get one shot, any tips?
