[QUOTE="hark, post: 667446, member: 13196"] As Don said, every lens has a minimum focusing distance meaning it won't be able to focus beyond a certain closeness. Macro lenses tend to allow a closer focusing distance than most other lenses. Shutter speed can contribute to blurred images if you are hand holding the body especially if the distance between you and your subject is close. Use a tripod. If the shutter speed is really slow, even just pressing the shutter button while the camera is mounted on a tripod can move the camera slightly. For those times, it is best to use some type of remote or self-timer. If your images are grainy, quite often that has to do with one of two things: [LIST=1] [*]If you are using a high ISO (perhaps indoors without any flash or supplemental lighting), sensors are know to contribute to noise. Keep your ISO below a certain number. Offhand, I don't know what that is for your particular body. [*]During post processing, if you raise the shadows or overall exposure by quite a bit, that also contributes to noise. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
