[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 760276, member: 46724"] Tough to nail it down to a blanket setting with Macro, or close ups. Its best to set the shutter at 1/focal length (consider crop here) dial the aperture down, the closer you are, the more dialed down it needs to be and if the ISO is outa control, make the appropriate adjustment. The easy button is either a flash or mono/tripod. pop up flashes work fine, or should. My macro lens extends out the front so when I need flash for macro, I am forced to use a speedlight to get the light up above the lens high enough as to not cast a shadow created by the flash hitting the front of the lens. Bonus points for off camera flash. Another hack is to plant the camera on a tripod, take a shot, adjust focus a little further back, take another shot and so on and so on. Then take all your shots and stack them to create the depth of field you need. Its essential the camera and the subject are completely stationary, otherwise this wont work. [/QUOTE]
