[QUOTE="nickt, post: 542712, member: 4923"] It sounds like you know your macro shooting from the old days. I'll just add that some of us use flash even out in the daylight so we can get a more crisp shot and use a higher aperture. There are several threads here on home made diffusers using a piece of foam. Next I will mention auto iso. If I am NOT using flash and hand holding for macro, I lock in a shutter and aperture in manual and use that with auto iso turned on. The iso will go as high as it needs to expose with the manual settings that you locked it. Dont use auto iso with flash though. No need for auto iso on a tripod either, you might as well lock in a nice low iso. I don't set my U's to keep fancy settings. Too hard to keep track of. If you tweak a setting and go back later it reverts to what you saved and not the more recent if you didn't re-save it. So I use my U's for more basic things. General settings to hand the camera to someone else. I use back button focus so that is confusing to my wife so U1 reverts to shutter button focus. U2 is a general wildlife setting in case bigfoot shows up and I am too nervous to tweak settings. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
