[QUOTE="Alan, post: 328187, member: 12333"] Infinity setting is only good for landscape ie: mountains etc. It sets the focus point too far away for anything close including the photos you took. Your best results would be using the AF settings I spoke about above. You should be able to set Manual focus by pushing the lower part of the control wheel on the back of the camera towards the Micro flower. It should give you a display on the screen that allows you to pick AF, Macro, Inf and MF (manual). Use the same wheel to select what you want and push OK. Personally I only use MF for close up or if I am having a problem with the AF locking on (usually when there is not enough contrast to allow AF to distinguish the difference) or when I am shooting birds in trees and it insists I want to shoot the leaves or branches in front of the birds.:cool: Hope this helps.....
