the macro setting isnt exactly the best, most of the time it turns out blurry - works best about 6 inches away, but the super macro mode seems to work better - for as close as about 2-3 inches. I know this probably isn't the most helpful response, but ive only had the camera for about a few days, this is just what ive noticed.

YES! you can record all kinds of macros, as well as special function operations like copy paste, back, forward, and many others with the Corsair software. You can even control the timing of macros as well as make the action repeat (cheaty for FPS)

Hi, Macro settings for this camera is under the Scene Recognition under the Intelligent Auto Mode and it is automatically assigned by the camera. -Ely

I found the macro capability as outstanding. However to get good results you'll need to shoot in manual mode and understand some of the basic setups and lighting conditions. Different situations require using different settings.

Thank you very much for the info. Should I go with the automatic setting or something else?

yeah, the macro mode lets you take close up images. Got the camera a few days ago and it too pretty nice pics of my fav. ring! The ring is focused, but background will be blurry

You haven't given any information about the procedures you are using so I'm having to do some guessing here. First, have you set the camera to Macro? If so, What distance range are you working in? If you are too far away or too close, you will be out of the filters' working range. If you have the settings right and are in range and still can't get the auto focus to work, make sure that the filter(s) are screwed in all the way and on straight. If it still will not auto focus, you will have to switch to manual focus and perhaps moved the camera a little bit closer or farther away from the subject until the subject is in focus.

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

The only way to do it is to set a macro and just set to a key on your keyboard and set the action to that key in game. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the button.

You can set macros, however that's a very unreliable way of doing it since anyone could press the button. The side keys are meant to be used as a number pad or action buttons in video games such as what this mouse is designed for.

Hello, there is an Auto Focus on this lens. Click the switch by AF - M to use Auto Focus (AF) however when shooting Macro, it's usually better and easier to manually focus. I hope this helped.

Absolutely. When you program a macro, you tell it when to press and when to release a special key (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, etc.)

Thank you guys, really appreciate you help. I was in confused state in selecting sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 or tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 macro, but after a week study i have selected this sigma 50-150mm which is exactly in my budget. Once again thank you guys.

I have this problem But I don't understand your solution, Bruce. Could you or someone explain it again please?You appear to be saying that if the camera is at something like a standard focal length you can choose both Macro and MF. But you can't - not on mine anyway!In my experience, the camera will not focus below 1ft. The image stays blurred and often the yellow central focus frame will display a question mark.Auto-focus does not work in Macro either - so to all practical purposes the camera has no Macro mode. If someone has a fix for this I'd be very interested.

I can't help with this question. I really bought it for it's Macro function.

There are two macro modes, one closer than the other. If you leave the camera in the EGR or EXR (I forget the exact name) that mode can sense how close the main object is an automatically switch the camera into macro or supermacro mode. Of course you can also do it manually.
